Paul Simon – Negotiations And Love Songs (1971-1986)

Fantastic AAA DMM pressing . Sounds wonderful. Grab it if you see it

Agree, this is a really nice sounding compilation. Flat, quiet vinyl. Dynamic. And Paul's albums were always well recorded. Only negative is the edited Train in the Distance was included here rather than the full album cut. But minor quibble for a stellar compilation.

I would like to point out the track Kodachrome SHOULD have an r in a circle after it as it is a registered trade mark. This symbol IS present on both the rear sleeve and the LP2 inner sleeve - therefore, should it not be on the track-listing here also?

Excellent sounding compilation, no complaints. Great selection of songs up to the Graceland singles, generally logical sequencing. I'm not sure if these are digital transfers or AAA but to my ears the sound is highly comparable to the original Canadian or US album pressings.

Don't take it from me but rather take it from Michael Fremer : "...Paul Simon's Negotiations and Love Songs 1971-1986 compilation (Warner Brothers 9 25789-1 2 LPs) was lovingly assembled using the original master tapes by engineer Roy Halee and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound. Yes, it was cut DMM in the "early days" but it's a fine sounding, well-pressed compilation of great tracks and you get a Robert Mapplethorpe cover thrown in for good measure.'' This is a really good sounding compilation and worth it to look for on vinyl!
