Free Music Review: old friends
Hit: 5 Stars
Boy, I have not bought S & G record for years. But, this one is it!! What great sound, they were right in front of me. All, the oldies. Free Music Review: Review of Old Friends
Hit: 4 Stars
Item arrived earlier than expected. Perfect condition. However, bad packing. The box arrived almost opened. One could have easily taken the CD out of the box.Free Music Review: The best of the "best-of" sets
Hit: 5 Stars
There seems to be as many "best-of" albums as their are actual studio albums, but in this case I am pleased. This is what a box-set SHOULD be - a collection of ALL of their greatest songs with various oddities and never-heard-before releases.
If you are new to Simon and Garfunkel, then you could buy this box-set and forgo every other release - it really is that complete.
Free Music Review: Got to be great...friends
Hit: 5 Stars
I had Collected works in tape format and it made me a fan of Simon & Garfunkel's music. It has been quite some time I was thinking of upgrading my Simon & garfunkel collection to CD format. I had the following options :-
1) Getting 3 CD Collected Works which has all 5 albums entirely and tracks are ordered like original albums.
2) Getting each album separately or getting best 3 of their 5 studio albums.
3) Getting Old friends which have most of the studio album tracks (42 out of 57 or something) but the tracks are not in order, but with some previously unreleased tracks.
4) Getting Complete Columbia Recordings, which has all 5 studio albums with bonus tracks.
None of the above options are bad really. I do not think "Collected works" will be available except from used music store. If you want some tracks which were not there in their studio albums then get "Old Friends" or "Complete Columbia Recordings". Even the single albums are now available with bonus tracks, so you can individually get them too but if you want most of the tracks from the albums but also want to hear some bonus tracks but do not want to spend much, get this.
There is nothing new that can be said about the music, its great music as you expect from world's best folk-rock duo. The collection starts wonderfully with a demo version of "Bleaker Street", the version is better than the original version to me. After that you get the remastered version of the known studio tracks and good live or demo or alternate versions of tracks. I like the 5 subsequent tracks from a live show in CD #2.
To sum up...evergreen music with remastered sound and the package also comes with a good booklet. Still if you a pure album collector you have to go for the other options. I am quite strictly album listener but still I do not regret buying this because I have all the albums in tape format and it is still good to listen the tracks in some other order than usual. This is one of the few compilation in my Cd collection. Essential buy!!!
Free Music Review: Absolute Perfection, Appropriate for any and all...
Hit: 5 Stars
This box set is fantastic throughout, and is perhaps the most played folder on my iPod. Living in New York, the music always seems appropriate as the soundtrack to live, be it the famed titled from "The Graduate" to the hits that were made familiar to me with the Concert in Central Park disc. Must own for any collection.
