Simon, Paul - Greatest Hits, Etc.

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON CBS 1977

CBS 86017 made in Holland in gatefold cover.

Vinyl VG+. Cover VG+.

Six of Paul Simon's ten chart singles between 1972 and 1976 are found on this 14-track compilation, which is filled out by a handful of album tracks, live performances and two new songs, the Top Ten hit "Slip Slidin' Away" and "Stranded in a Limousine." That makes for a well-stuffed LP, and several of the tracks have had a few seconds shaved off to cut down the running time. All of which is to say that Greatest Hits, Etc. is not a by-the-book best-of. But then, the three albums from which most of the tracks here come are essential documents of 1970s American pop music as well as big sellers, so maybe it was necessary to do some creative meddling to keep from assembling a collection that would be redundant to fans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Simon
