Simon & Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits – 1969 – Japanese Release

In 1972 one of the best selling Simon & Garfunkel was released: ‘Simon & Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits’. It sold millions and stayed for years in the Top Hits. But 3 years before in Japan ‘Simon & Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits’ was released for the first time. Released before ‘Bridge over troubled water’ !

CBS SONX 60081:

 

No pictures on front or back. Only the title and name of the group in lower case in the right corner at the bottom.

 

A great fold-out cover with much information about Simon & Garfunkel. And much more important it had recording information too:

 Tracks:

Side A:

Mrs. Robinson
The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ groovy)
Homeward bound
Flowers never bend with the rainfall
A hazy shade of winter
I am a rock

Side B:

Scarborough Fair / Canticle
Leaves that are green
Old friends
Fakin’ it
The dangling conversation
The sounds of silence

  1. Interesting discovery! Do the dates coincide with the recording dates given in the “Old Friends” Box set from 1997?
