5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, November 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Essential Paul Simon (Audio CD)
Just purchased the 2010 Sony reissue of "The Essential Paul Simon". It is EVERYTHING past collections are not. The songs are not edited. And rather than program the songs in strict chronological order, the compiler has programmed the songs so they fit together as a body of work, rather than as a mere run-down of his most popular music.

True, it omits some classics, as well as a few minor hits. But this is a minor quibble (I assume this has the same track listing as 2007's similarly titled Warner collection). "The Essential Paul Simon" is the finest collection of his music ever offered, bar none. And for those who are familiar with other reviews I've written, that is saying quite a lot.
