“Over the Bridge of Time: A Paul Simon Retrospective”

cover

You can’t accuse Sony/Legacy of not hedging their bets.

In October, as previously reported, they will release a 15-disc Complete Albums Collection box set that gathers together all of Paul Simon‘s solo long-players. Good as that set looks, it could simply be too much Paul Simon for you to handle, and Sony want to offer you a bite-sized portion. So on the same day they will also release a one-CD hits package (or a ‘retrospective’, to give it the appropriate gravitas) that includes some of his best known songs from Simon and Garfunkel AND his solo output.

Of course the world does not need another greatest hits featuring the songs of Paul Simon, and the brilliance of the Simon and Garfunkel era cannot really be successfully summarised in just SIX tracks, but on the other hand this set has a very evocative and charming front cover…

Over the Bridge of Time: A Paul Simon Retrospective and the Complete Albums Collection are both released on 14 October 2013.
