 Perfect Lullaby Music Jul 01, 2010
I bought this CD for my newborn/infant granddaughter who never wanted to relax, much less go to sleep. "Sounds of Silence" is especially calming for her. The entire CD is better than any baby lullaby music. Perhaps not what Simon and Garfunkel intended or what potential buyers are looking for in a review, but amazingly awesome music for ALL generations, including grandma who feels a touch of nostalgia - I listened to this album when I was 12-13 years old.
10 stars for music, 1 star for sound - Please remaster!!! Jun 09, 2010
As most other reviewers have stated, the recordings here truly are some of Simon & Garfunkel's greatest. What makes this an essential album -- IN ADDITION TO the duo's regular albums -- is the inclusion of four live cuts and an alternative take of "America" that don't appear on those earlier albums. These aren't just rarities that are nice to have; they do much more, providing a fuller picture of duo, flowing together with the previously released cuts in a seamless whole that stands by itself as a great album.
Unfortunately, Columbia/Sony has neglected to remaster this outstanding collection. While there are other, bigger S&G collections that do have better sound quality, none has the concise yet masterfully selected group of songs that this album has.
Please remaster it!!!
Simon & Garfunkel CD May 30, 2010
The CD is great - shipped very quickly and was in perfect condition. Thank you.
the oldies rock Feb 23, 2010
This music brought back some memories. The music was always great - these two always had a great blending of voices. Part of the album was recorded live. They improvised a little bit from the originals on the live recordings, and naturally they were excellent, but I'm a stick-in-the mud who likes the oldies exactly the way I remembered them back in my youth. Ah, well - good music no matter what.

 This Album is a LIE!!! Jan 24, 2010
This is NOT a greatest hits album! Some of the hits have been replaced with live versions which were not the hits. The hits are the songs people remember from the radio. People bought this thinking they were getting the versions they knew. There is ZERO indication on the sleeve that this has any live versions. Not only that, but they crossfade some of the applause into the beginning of the studio versions. How irritating!!
Is this a scam to make people buy the full albums or singles that they really want? Probably. Did the producers actually think the live versions are better? They are not, neither artistically or sonically. If they want a live Simon and Garfunkle album, make it and sell it to the serious die-hards who care.
