Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0074646602225 Format: Original recording reissued, Original recording remastered Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 66022 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: November 16, 1999 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The older the betterI was impressed how good Simon and Garfunkel still sound and how their songs are not outdated. A great CD of two great singers. Highly recommend. Rating: - The Best Remastered Issue To DateFor 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. ...

Rating:  - great music, so-so recordingThis is the S&G collection to buy. Too bad some of the early recordings were so poor. Rating: - My favorite MusicThe best of Simon & Garfunkel is just that. Their music is timeless. As always they never fail to entertain. I really enjoy them. |
