I've been waiting to buy this cd for the longest time and it was worth the wait... remembering all the old songs took me back many years when life was simpler and I was much younger...each song reminds me of a different chapter in my life..... thanks for the trip back down memory lane October 7, 2008

One of my faves, Anticipation was used for a ketchup ad and really devalued the song. I can't listen to it now without thinking of the condiment. That has taken away from the quality of her work. Yes her tunes are catchy but the arrangements and lyrics are first rate. One of the most cynical songs is 'That's the way I've always heard it should be'. It was not a huge hit but I think it's one of her best. Her sensibility may be commercial but most of her songs are beautifully crafted. The melodies stick in your head, even if you don't want them to. Too bad she has a phobia about performing, otherwise I'd love to see a concert. September 16, 2008

I'm a longtime fan of Carly Simon. I wanted a CD of hers, and I wanted a cheap one with excellent sound. So, 'The Best of Carly Simon' was an excellent solution. This is an excellent Carly set that documents her years on the Elektra label in the 1970s.

You get plenty of hits here. 'Mockingbird,' the duet with her then-husband James Taylor, 'You're So Vain,' 'Attitude Dancing,' and of course 'That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be.' If you want her
'70s chart hits, you'll find most of them here.

And, as I said earlier, Elektra did an excellent job remastering the songs.

If you're just starting your Carly collection, I recommend this set and her 1982 record 'Torch.' If you're a casual fan, than this is all you'll probably ever need.

An excellent set. Highly recommended. ENJOY!!! March 1, 2008

The new release of the old vinyl is as good or better than the original. My adult son and I are playing it endlessly. November 21, 2007
