Paul announced that the personality of the material demanded that it could not be a Simon and Garfunkel album. Additionally, a close confidant stated that Paul believed the songs were good, perhaps better than anything he had done before. To bridge the gap until a new Paul Simon album, Warner Brothers released a 3-CD box set, Paul Simon 1964/1993, in September, which included all the major hits from Paul Simon's now 30-year career, totaling 59 songs. It also featured some rarities, such as the song "In The Rain.".
