Carly Simon: No Secrets 1971 SACD 2016 Mobile Fidelity 96/24 Hi Res Audio
Carly Simon s number-one smash You re So Vain lingers as one of the most clever, famous, and secretive songs ever recorded. The subject of mass speculation ever since its release, soon after which it occupied the top spot on multiple Billboard charts for several weeks, the double-edged anthem has for decades kept a captive public guessing at the identity of its smug subject. To this day, Simon has offered many hints but never revealed its inspiration. Ironically, the question surrounding the protagonist s identity is perhaps the only mystery on the otherwise sexually open and autobiographically daring No Secrets, Simon s breakthrough album and an emblem of the 70s singer-songwriter canon.
