Review

Rolling Stone (11/11/93, p.77) - "...[1964/1993] gives a more satisfying picture of Simon's output than collections like NEGOTIATIONS AND LOVE SONGS or SIMON AND GARFUNKEL'S GREATEST HITS..."
Entertainment Weekly (12/3/93, p.70) - "...[Simon] has maintained a level of quality and innovation unequaled by his '60s peers.... - Rating: B +

This 3-CD box set contains a 40-page booklet with extensive liner notes, track by track annotations, complete personnel and recording information a discography, rare photographs and is divided into three sections "The Early Years," "The Solo Years" and "Graceland And Beyond."

The perfect companion to OLD FRIENDS, the Simon & Garfunkel box, this three-disc set is a marvelously comprehensive compilation of tunes by the baby boomers' Poet Laureate. You get everything from his earliest work with Garfunkel to his seminal '70s folk-rock albums and the breakthrough world music fusion of GRACELAND and RHYTHM OF THE SAINTS. This box was put together with a sharp eye for Simon's unique songwriting gift ("Peace Like a River," "Hearts and Bones") as well as an ear for his irresistible pop hits ("Cecilia," "Late in the Evening.")

Enhancing the enjoyment of this package is a great booklet that features informative interviews with Simon as well as his own illuminating comments about the writing of many of the tunes included here. One of the things that comes to mind while listening is the eclecticism of Simon's muse. Even if there were other artists who could go from the skanking ska of "Mother and Child Reunion" to the gospel-tinged "Loves Me Like a Rock" to the big Brazilian beat of "The Obvious Child," there's nary a one who could make it all work the way Simon does.
