These days, I have way too many CD's on my "to buy" list and not enough money to go around. The best way to deal with this dillema is to either get the group's most definitive album or to get the best "best of" album. That's exactly what you'll find in "The Essential Simon & Garfunkel." Not only does it have all their greatest hits, but the collection spans two discs, so you're sure to get enough of their music to get your fill.

I received this CD in a timely manner, and have enjoyed it very much. It brings back alot of nice memories for people who are in my age group.

This collection contains more than 35 songs which include just about all of the best known ones and quite a few lesser known but good ones, like el Condor Pasa. Most of them are the studio recordings, especially the better known ones like Sounds of Silence, and they sound very good. I think overall it is very good, especially for the price.

A few minor areas of concern: First, there are some live tracks which sound better in their studio versions. I am not sure why they include live cuts when the studio ones are certainly available. Second, the packaging is cheap - I had to break the case to get at CD Number 2. I had this problem with another of the "Essential" sets, so I think they could do a better job here. Finally, I am not sure why they included a few songs; for example, I find "Old Friends" and "A Most Peculiar Man" depressing. Overall, howerer, I think this a very good collection and is certainly worth the money!

The product arrived at the specified time that was given to me when I ordered the CD. There was No damage to the CD as it was well packaged and the songs are great to listen to and bring back good memories.

I'm a fairly new fan of Simon and Garfunkel. This album is a great collection of their most-popular songs, and I've listened to it over and over again.
