Simon and Garfunkel are on of the most revered pop groups ever.Their influence on music and American culture is profound.Their commercial success is undisputable: more than 25 million albums sold in the US alone, 19 charting singles and continued strong catalog sales of 500,000 units every year. Their classic albums are must-haves for all music fans.

Columbia and Legacy are proud to reissue Simon & Garfunkel's body of work for the first time.

In the tradition of the Expanded Edition series, the Simon & Garfunkel catalog, all 5 of their original studio albums, get the deluxe treatment:
Rare and unreleased bonus tracks;
New liners;
Rare and unseen bonus tracks;
Lyrics;
Detailed track info;
Restored LP artwork and more!

In order to ensure the realisation of their creative vision, the entire project was completed in consultation with Art Garfunkel, Paul Simon and Roy Halee.

The sound quality of these new masters is stunning!

The bonus tracks are beautiful and rare gems - an unreleased demo of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with Art's soaring vocal accompanied only by piano is only one of those included, but is worth the price of admission alone.

The liner notes were written by Bud Scoppa, whose notes for the Little Feat boxed set were nominated for a Grammy Award.
