Although THE COMPLETE ALBUMS COLLECTION is the date by far the most comprehensive box set by Simon & Garfunkel, but contains not all officially published, shared shots of the two. It lacks namely with the studio version of YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOUR INTEREST LIES the single B-side of FAKIN` IT (1967) and with MY LITTLE TOWN joint single of 1975, was also included on the then published solo albums of both , That various demos included on some of the aforementioned Box Sets, alternate takes, outtakes and live recordings were now excluded, the fact may be due to that one albums, as they were once conceived, today definitely still understood as completed works of art. If you would YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOUR INTEREST LIES and MY LITTLE TOWN and the famous demos, alternate takes, outtakes and live recordings now combined on a bonus CD, no Simon & Garfunkel fan would however certainly have been sad, even during the of Bridge Over Troubled Water sessions recorded CUBA SI, NO NIXON, the Simon & Garfunkel have that time now and then performs live, is still waiting for its official publication. On this occasion, you could have done well from The Concert in Central Park a 2CD version, with THE LATE GREAT JOHNNY ACE and the repetition of LATE IN THE EVENING the last addition to that memorable evening.
The five studio albums by Simon & Garfunkel and The Graduate, Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits and The Concert in Central Park have been newly remastered for this box and sound fantastic. The quality of the original analog master tapes has hardly suffered apparently in all the years also has been working in the studio recordings from 1964 to 1969 with the utmost care. The new remasters sound for my taste a bit warmer ("analog") than for old friends and THE COLUMBIA STUDIO RECORDINGS 1964-1970 made (Re) Masters, where the albums Wednesday Morning, 3 AM, Sounds of Silence and PARSLEY, SAGE , ROSEMARY AND THYME that time new Masters were produced based on the original multi-track tapes. For the new box has again resorted to the three aforementioned albums on the old original two-track master. Of the songs and THE CLOUDY 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin 'Groovy) there is therefore now again the old 2:14 or 1:40 long versions, both songs were in the Masters of 1997/2001, there were in which disappears more slowly , a few seconds longer. The new remaster the SIMON contained herein and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits has been around since the beginning of 2014 on the Sony Music in the CD series playlist: published version of the album, here was probably remastered based on the original album master tape from 1972, as well on the original LP was heard during the first 1:52 minutes of CECILIA the mono Singlemix. Benefits from new Remaster definitely The Concert in Central Park, which is now no longer sounds so blurred as to the LP or CD versions previously available.
Conclusion: Those who want to enjoy all the albums by Simon & Garfunkel in really the best possible sound quality, can not avoid to THE COMPLETE ALBUMS COLLECTION zuzulegen.
Slightly disappointed I am by Artwork provided herein. The CD covers are no particularly high quality miniature versions of the original LP cover, sometimes even blurred, and are also still disfigured by thick white frame. Anyone who wants to and is willing to spend some extra money, may resort to the Japanese version of THE COMPLETE ALBUMS COLLECTION equal when it comes to artwork the high, familiar from Japanese editions Standard, see my local review.
