Simon & Garfunkel: Greatest Hits

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.
