Collected Works by Simon & Garfunkel (CD, Jan-1990, 3 Discs, Columbia USA)

Simon & Garfunkel ranked 2nd only to the Beatles in my life from age 12-17.I dressed for school each morning to S&G & languished each eve to the Beatles- so nostalgia ranked high as purchase motivation.

Since converting to CDs I hadn't had $$ to buy all the "historical" music of my life - the budget had me concentrating on Radiohead, Eurythmics, Aimee Mann, Santana's later supernovas.

I experienced a moment of jaw-dropping horror when my 27 yr. old married daughter heard Sound of Silence on the radio & asked me who/what it was that she (& her hubby!)had somehow missed this vital portion of Musical Life/ History! The major hits & the minor masterpieces! They had no knowledge of the most vitally intelligent musical poets produced by '60's Ivy League America!!They did manage to catch Dylan due to all the covers by nearly every living musician... & love the Beatles as Beatle music was always playing here, there & everywhere as they grew up. But basically Nirvana, Green Day & Tori Amos were the soundtrack of their own youth!!

My shame at this musicological neglect was boundless..(*sob*)!

Running to Ebay it took only moments to locate exactly what I was looking for. I was thrilled to find this collection at a very good price. It is in perfect condition- got here within days- well packed.And has been playing solidly in both our homes ever since. My 3 grandchildren particularly enjoy it - it has some familiarity of sound to them since I do have "Rythmn of the Saints"&"Graceland" that they've listend to since birth!

I am now correcting the Musical Mothering neglect which is met with great receptivity and pleasure by the kids and grandbabes-- the 4yr.old has a dance she performs delightedly whenever the "9 Bridgets" Song (as she calls it) is played.

We are now Musically Enraptured Happy Joyous Customers- a new/old world unfolding before us once again. And of course my memory is surfacing each day w. new/old treasures to add to my CD collection (The Moody Blues are shadows forming on the horizon...) & I couldn't possibly afford to do this w/o the resources of the Ebay Community---Thanks Ebay & your Savvy Sellers!

Best thing is it doesn't leave out any of their hit's and a few other cut's,compleate,alot of good memories come to mind,excelent music,major flashback,music I can & will turn my grandchildren on to,they just don't make music like that nowdays and yes I'm from the old school cool, easy, listening music,laidback,wish there were more like it A+++ awsome

As a Simon & Garfunkle fan, I was excited to get this CD, and was not disappointed when I played it. It is a great compilation of thier hits which any fan would enjoy!
