Бокc-сет "The Complete Albums Collection" американского исполнителя Пола Саймона, выпущенный в 2013 году. В него входят все студийные работы певца, начиная с "The Paul Simon Song Book" (1965) и заканчивая "So Beautiful Or So What" (2011), а также бонусные треки, демо-записи и живые выступления, а также концертный альбом "Concert In The Park" 1991 года. Многие из представленных альбомов попадали в чарты и даже возглавляли их. Но самыми успешными в карьере певца считаются "Graceland" и "There Goes Rhymin' Simon", которые принесли Полу Саймону номинации на Грэмми.
Издание представлено на 15 CD с бонусными треками и включает 52-страничный буклет.
Пол Саймон - один из самых популярных и успешных американских исполнителей, он был основателем и основным автором песен дуэта Simon & Garfunkel, в том числе композиций "The Sound of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson" и "Bridge Over Troubled Water", занимавших в разное время первую строчку американских чартов. На его счету 12 наград "Грэмми", Саймон также был дважды включен в Зал славы Рок-н-ролла, в 1990 как участник Simon & Garfunkel, а в 2001 году уже как сольный исполнитель.
