Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Though the American folk movement of the early '60s would influence bands like the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield and a score of oh-so-sensitive '70s singer-songwriters, its two most looming successes during the decade--Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel--couldn't have seemed more disparate. While Dylan turned hard-left, outraging many a folk purist by zealously embracing rootsy blues-rock and its electrified cacophony, SG veered toward the center, equally infuriating snooty pundits by embracing a Top 40 pop sense whose ostensible shallowness often belied its rich musical diversity. In retrospect, Simon and Garfunkel's career as a duo was remarkably brief (five albums in six years), if no less commercially potent (a slew of Top 40 singles, two Number One albums, and the requisite handful of Grammy Awards). This box set compiles digitally remastered versions of the original SG albums, each expanded to include bonus tracks (mostly previously unissued demos with a few scattered outtakes, the quartet on ISounds of Silence/I the best of the lot) and a booklet featuring new notes for each album and song lyrics. It's a rewarding journey, wending from the almost slavish folk devotion of IWednesday Morning 3 AM/I through the greeting-card iconoclasm of ISounds of Silence/I, the madrigal-pop of IParsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme/I to the increasingly impressionistic lyrical landscape of IBookends/I. It also covers the rich musical tapestry of IBridge over Troubled Waters/I, which foreshadowed Simon's own diverse solo career by embracing everything from the Everlys and Jan Dean to Andean folk and RB. I--Jerry McCulley/I

If there is only one box set you want to buy, this is it. October 2, 2008

Simon and Garfunkel never fail to please. All five full length remastered studio albums (plus bonus tracks) are here. You can play it straight through and like every song. In my opinion, there are no bad songs in this set.br /br /Paul Simon is a poet as well as a skilled musician. Art Garfunkel has an amazing smooth voice. Together, the two make magic that's often imitated, but not duplicated.br /br /As I write this (10/2/2008), the fall season recently began. Around this time, I'm usually in the mood for their music. It goes well with brisk sweater weather, autumn leaves with multiple colors, and the smell of fresh coffee with a shot of Bailey's for good measure.br /br /If you are this type of person (as I am), I'm fairly confident the music will affect you the same way. It's a feast for the senses, because the music is both smart and fun, a rare combination.br /br /Enjoy!!

A nice collection June 1, 2008
This is a nice collection of Simon and Garfunkle songs. I bought a second copy because of accidental damage to my original copy. So it must be good. :-)
