Collected Works Review

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The three-disc box set Collected Works contains all of Simon & Garfunkel's studio albums, from Wednesday Morning, 3 AM to Bridge Over Troubled Water. Though this is too much material for casual fans, any serious fan of Simon & Garfunkel or folk-rock will need to acquire the set, simply because it presents the albums in their best-ever sound. The duo did record a handful of tracks that didn't make the set -- and if Columbia were assembling a true "collected works" compilation, they would have to be included -- but the genuinely essential material is present, making it a good buy for the budget conscious.
