Such an artist!
This compilation of Paul's work is one of my favourites, if you appreciate this very talented artist (and his equally talented support musicians) then you would love this double release in glorious analog vinyl!
A long time ago I saw Paul live in Sydney, damn the performance was captivating, not only due to Paul but the musicians - particularly the percussion. I had never seen the various drums played in such a way and so energetic - stunning show and stunning music
PAUL SIMON - Negotiations And Love Songs (Compilation 1971 ~ 1986)
Warner Bros Music
Cat# 25789.1
1988
Australian release
Cover is in very good condition, no tears, no seam splits, no personal writing, no significant graphic wear and with only light edge wear from handling. The two Gold metallic sleeves are also in very good condition.
New inner plastic liner sleeve
BOTH vinyls are in very good condition, in fact I can say very VERY good condition. I never use the term "mint" as that is reserved for new, sealed packaging but I have cared for this album - it's one of my babies!
I have also visually inspected both albums (each side) under a white halogen light source, I can see just NO scratches or marks on any of the four sides.
Just looking at the vinyl isn't a very good method to judge the condition, so let's have a listen ... I have played the ENTIRE release, both albums on both sides, and there are no issues with surface noise nor clicks/pops. The production on this release is outstanding, particularly the percussive instruments and it sounds like Paul's support musicians are dancing around you while listening - very very good listen (if Paul is your "thing")
