Even among her singer/songwriter peers, Carly Simon stood out for her skill at observation and analysis. Early on, she showed a talent for probing beneath domestic situations, searching for the cracks around the edges of romance. The Best of Carly Simon gleans key tracks from her early -‘70s output, emphasizing her chart singles. Simon’s emotional landscape is a complex one — expressions of deep pessimism (“That’s the Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be”) and unbridled optimism (“The Right Thing to Do”) vie for dominance in her work. Some of her most effective tunes — “We Have No Secrets” in particular — are wryly ambivalent in tone. Of course, she can get playful when she chooses, as her duet with then-husband James Taylor on “Mockingbird” shows. And, as the classic “You’re So Vain” makes plain, she can deliver a put-down with authority. Simon’s resonant alto vocals add a classy sheen to even relatively banal fare like the disco-inflected “Attitude Dancing.” Those curious about her post-1975 releases will have to look elsewhere, but if it’s early Carly you’re after, this collection delivers the high points.
This is a private collection.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
I’m selling a few of my Dad’s albums, and mine too.
We both worked in and around the music industry and I have a pretty eclectic collection.
The records are in mint/near mint/great condition but most of the covers are showing some age and some of the sleeves are a bit dry.
I’m including a new sleeve with each.
These vintage albums might have some of the normal snap, crackle, pop of vintage vinyl.
I’ve played each one and they don’t jump, skip or stick.
I give them another spin before shipping to be sure.
Most of the promo records have only been played once or twice if ever.
Make an offer!
I’ll probably accept.
I’m here to pass the music on to others who will enjoy it.
Thanks for shopping!
