Leonard Cohen: More Best Of (Columbia)
Sylvie Simmons, MOJO, November 1997
A CATCH-UP collection of the best of the past couple of decades for those who fell in love with, or to, early Len and may not have paid much attention since. Three or four tracks from each of his frustratingly few post-bedsit albums, including the live stuff, plus two 'new' tracks – one's been on the back burner for years, the other is a minute long, featuring neither his vocals nor his tune.
