Notes
Released September 24, 1990
Rubáiyát is a compilation album, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Elektra record label. The concept was to feature present-day Elektra artists covering songs from the historic catalogue of recordings of Elektra Records and its sister label Asylum Records.
Two long-running Elektra artists—Jackson Browne and The Cure—were featured in a double capacity. They were featured as performing artists (covering songs from Elektra's early canon) and were also represented by having songs that they had recorded for Elektra, covered by newer Elektra artists. Carly Simon was the only solo artist to have two songs covered on the collection while the Eagles were the only group to share that distinction.
The double album was produced by Lenny Kaye, guitarist of the Patti Smith group, who also wrote the liner notes.

This is a fantastic compilation and well worth the investment. I love one track in particular - The Gipsy Kings playing Hotel California in Spanish. It's a crowd favourite when I'm DJ'ing.
