Simon & Garfunkel – Greatest Hits (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel recorded together for less than a decade, yet their catalog of studio work remains among the most enduring in American popular music. Compiled just two years after their acrimonious 1970 split, this collection captures the arc of a partnership that moved from folk revival roots to orchestral ambition, with Paul Simon's increasingly sophisticated songwriting as the connective thread.
Vinyl LP reissue of this classic 1972 collection. The album was a mix of original studio recordings and four previously unreleased live recordings. The 10 studio songs comprise nine singles released between 1965 and 1972, "America" being issued as a single several years after it's appearance as a track on the Bookends album, and one album track, "Bookends" (without it's parent song "Old Friends"). All the singles included, except "America," "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)," and "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" made the Top Ten, with the last peaking at #11, and "Mrs. Robinson" topped the chart aided by it's appearance in Mike Nichols' hit movie The Graduate. "The Sound of Silence" and "Bridge over Troubled Water" both peaked at #1 as singles in their studio versions, and "The Boxer" peaked as a single at #7.
