The solo career of Paul Simon is chronicled on the upcoming 15-CD set The Complete Album Collection, due on October 15 via Legacy.
The extensive set includes all of Simon’s solo work, including his 1965 set The Paul Simon Songbook with numerous songs that would become part of the Simon & Garfunkel canon. The box goes through to his 2011 So Beautiful or So What.
Along with the original albums, select discs include bonus material including demos, alternate versions and live recordings. There is also a 56-page book of photos and liner notes written by Ashley Kahn.
