The Best of Simon & Garfunkel

Amazon.com:
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

Rating: - nothing but the best
The Best of Simon & Garfunkel is a strong CD that serves its purpose best as an introductory album to the great music these guys gave to us all. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is good. The fact that this CD still sells well reflects the fact that Simon & Garfunkel really were a remarkable, formidable team.
