A landmark fusion of pop and South African music, joyful and intricate. Controversial and acclaimed. One of the great 80s albums. Released in 1986, it's one of Paul Simon's later high points.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
