This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Some compilations are aimed at hardcore fans — the ones who will shell out again for a bunch of songs they already have just to get an unreleased track or two.
Others — like this greatest hits package from folk-pop kings Simon and Garfunkel — are for folks who just want all the hit-parade wheat and none of the album-track chaff. Here, there are no B-sides, no long-lost tracks, no new songs, just all the classic hits that amount to a virtual soundtrack to the ’60s — The Sound Of Silence, Homeward Bound, I Am A Rock, 59th Street Bridge Song, Mrs. Robinson, The Boxer, Cecilia and, of course, Bridge Over Troubled Water. If you don’t already own a Simon and Garfunkel album, this is the only one you’ll ever need.
