Product Description: Augmenting 1972's Greatest Hits with additional tracks, Best of... now stands as the preeminent one-disc introduction to the music of Simon & Garfunkel. Containing everything Greatest Hits offered except for the live version of "59th Street Bridge Song" (the original studio hit resurfaces here) and the incandescent "Kathy's Song," the updated retrospective boasts 20 tracks, in contrast to its predecessor's 14 selections. Added to the mix are the likes of "Hazy Shade of Winter," "The Only Living Boy in New York," "Song for the Asking," and "My Little Town," a one-off the twosome did five years after they ended their phenomenally successful partnership. Remastered from the original source tapes, Best of... also boasts far superior sound to the earlier hits collection. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews
Time Travel
I remember listening to these songs on the radio when I was younger. They're are still wonderful. This is an excellent CD with many sing-along favorites.
|
great music, so-so recording
This is the S&G collection to buy. Too bad some of the early recordings were so poor.
|
My favorite Music
The best of Simon & Garfunkel is just that. Their music is timeless. As always they never fail to entertain. I really enjoy them.

60's folk-rock at its best!
Almost everybody has heard nearly half of these songs in one way or another; whether it be on the radio, tv commericals, movies, tv shows, or in stores. All 20 of this songs are legendary gems of an unforgetable era for music; filled with vivid imagery and well-crafted arrangements. This single CD set offers a immense insight into the career of two of the most popular and influencial artists of our time.
The songs on here include their three US #1 hits: the haunting "Sounds Of Silence", the cheery and catchy "Mrs. Robinson" and the beautifully gracious "Bridge Over Troubled Water" where Art Garfunkel sings in the most beautiful and poignant I've ever heard. Several more hits are on here too like the dark, ambiguous "Boxer", the yearning "Homeward Bound" in which Paul Simon sings mournfully about wanting to be home again, the anthem-like "I Am A Rock", the raunchy "Cecilia" and much much more. Even their 1975 reunion hit, "My Little Town", is here! And so is the mild hit "Fakin' It" in its original mono mix!
Aside from the hits, this album also includes favorites such as "The 59th Street Bridge Song", "America", "Old Friends/Bookends", and "The Only Living Boy In New York". A live version of "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her" is included as well. Songs that weren't included and should've been included "Baby Driver" or "Keep The Customer Satisfied" but, enough said, this is a wonderful collection.
