Carly Simon was signed for her first solo album contract to Elektra Records by the label's founder, Jac Holzman, beginning an association with the label that would endure for the entirety of the 1970s. Holzman's hands-on approach to overseeing his label's output, however, would only last for three of Simon's albums, as he departed Elektra in 1973, three years after selling the company to the conglomerate that had just swallowed up Warner Bros.' assets. Now, that brief but halcyon period of collaboration is being collected by Rhino. These Are the Good Old Days: The Carly Simon and Jac Holzman Story is a 1CD, 2LP, and digital compilation curated by Holzman and drawing on both hits and deep cuts from Carly Simon (1971), Anticipation (1971), and No Secrets (1972) plus one previously unreleased demo and a previously unreleased mix of the John Prine-written "Angel from Montgomery." All audio has been remastered for this release.
