Product Description

From 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Remastered Issue, Jul 10 2008

By	Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

For a truly definitive and distinct collection, this remastered disc really brings out all the nuances and subtleties of all the Simon & Garfunkel classics. With twenty great songs, I have to admit that even the over-played, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" has a new essence and urgency that lacked in earlier recordings. The ambience is so much stronger. "The Sounds Of Silence" and "Old Friends" are so clean that it's actually odd not to hear any background hiss - the vocals and guitars are so crisp. The more upbeat songs like, "Cecilia", "The Boxer" and "I Am A Rock" seem to place more emphasis on the percussion than on earlier recordings. "America" and "My Little Town" make for perfect album closers, as they sum up just about all that Simon & Garfunkel have stood for and cared about for so many decades. For absolutists, the Box Set contains everything, but this disc captures the true sound and essence of Simon & Garfunkel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Collection, Jun 25 2004

By A Customer

Here it is, the first affordable collection of Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits. All the esential hits are here. If you could never buy the box set and multi disc hit sets from them, this is perfect because only the really popular tracks are on here.
This is one of my favorite CDs out right now along with Bond's "Classified" and Mr.Deviant's "Techno Obsession" which is a mix of power rock and hard dance music to make some killer instrumentals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do I smell spices?, Jun 18 2004

By	Ann Lesters "Ann" (Lewiston, NY) - See all my reviews

These guys are the reason I've sung a mantra for twenty-five years, *every single time* I've looked at spices... and often when I walk into a kitchen, or simply walk down the street.... The mantra I sing is this: "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme" (Scarborough Fair). I don't know whether to be thankful, or get shock therapy (kidding!)!! But every time I think of spices, or walk into SF Bay Area shops that smell of spices, I sing the mantra: "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme." If Simon & Garfunkel's corporate lawyers don't mind, I'd like my gravestone to read: "Are you going to heaven's fair? Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Time." (My cemetery plot has a small patch where herbs may be planted). Anyway, S&G are a class act! During some tough times in this great country of ours, they kept their cool, they were cool, and they created some of the best songs (classiest pop songs) of an era! Kudos!
