Vinyl LP reissue of this classic 1972 collection. The album was a mix of original studio recordings and four previously unreleased live recordings. The 10 studio songs comprise nine singles released between 1965 and 1972, ""America"" being issued as a single several years after it's appearance as a track on the Bookends album, and one album track, ""Bookends"" (without it's parent song ""Old Friends""). All the singles included, except ""America,"" ""El Condor Pasa (If I Could),"" and ""Scarborough Fair/Canticle"" made the Top Ten, with the last peaking at #11, and ""Mrs. Robinson"" topped the chart aided by it's appearance in Mike Nichols' hit movie The Graduate. ""The Sound of Silence"" and ""Bridge over Troubled Water"" both peaked at #1 as singles in their studio versions, and ""The Boxer"" peaked as a single at #7.
