Negotiations and Love Songs 1971-1986 This two-record set on one CD collects 16 Paul Simon hits from his solo career after Simon & Garfunkel without much rhyme or reason.

Beautiful!
Beautiful collection... and one of the most beautiful portraits of Paul Simon I've seen. Does anyone know where I can get a poster of this album cover???

Amazing Songwriter
Paul Simon is one of the most amazing and talented songwriters ever! I love this CD, it is really, really unique, and a joy to listen to! The best songs (in my personel opinion) are "Kodachrome" (so catchy I could listen to it for hours!) "Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard" (great guitar! Can't get enough) "Still Crazy After All These Years" and, or course, the mega-successful "Graceland". But all the songs are good, except for "You Can Call Me Al" . . . I know it's a classic but I don't really like it. Besides that, I adore this CD. But it, I promise you it will have a permanent home in your CD player!

Add This To Your Shopping Cart.
When you listen to this album, you'll soon realize Paul Simon loves drums and big band sound. I have no clue what his lyrics are saying, but they're great poetry. 4 selecions on this disc from the Monster hit 'Graceland' plus many more we've learned to tap our feet to. My personal favourites if I had to pick a couple are 'You Can Call Me Al' and 'Kodachrome', however the whole disc is well worth having. A major work and very very good quality.

I was pleasantly surprised!
I have almost every album that Paul Simon has made, so I bought this one only because I was in the habit of adding to my collection. I wasn't expecting much--after all, I have all of these songs on other discs, some in triplicate. (Yes, I am a devoted fan). But, I was very pleasantly surprised with this collection. The sound is superb and the choice of songs is excellent. The songs span his career--the ones I especially like are 'Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War' and 'Bernadette'. 'Bernadette' is reminiscent of do-wop and also sounds like something from 'West Side Story'. Both songs are gems and it is sad that classic rock radio passed them by.The book accompanying the CD is very nice, with glossy paper, photos of Paul not seen before, and liner notes which tell about each song. Song lyrics are also included, which is something that is not often done. Nice collection!

You'll be flowing on a Cool, Cool, River while playing this
"...The Mississippi delta was shining like a national guitar..." the opening words to the opening track on this single CD Paul Simon best-of is the first of many things this CD does right! This package is named after the lyric in Graceland.When one looks at the package, one sees tremendous care that went into it. The CD booklet boasts liner notes, photos, session details, and lyrics to all the songs! The CD clocks in at over 77 minutes and all the songs are remastered. The songs have never sounded better!One may quibble with what's not on here (Gone At Last, Duncan, Something So Right). But with one CD covering an entire solo career since the S&G breakup, depth is sacrificed for breadth! One cannot quibble though, with what IS on here!Some songs are edited, though. Loves Me Like A Rock is the edit appearing on Negotiations and Love Songs, and 50 Ways is the single edit appearing on his box set, and the UK import Anthology.Oh... and some reviewers may speculate with why another greatest hits is coming out now, with Paul's new album on the way...but doing a retrospective covering songs from 1972's Paul Simon upto 1997's Capeman is timely. 25 years is a nice round number.This is the best single CD covering Paul's career. One hopes a similar package appears domestically.
