SUCH A DEAL !    Simon And Garfunkel's Greatest Hits…  BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW AND SEALED.  MINE IS THE “REAL DEAL”, DIRECT FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR.  I WILL MAIL IT TO YOU WITH TENDER LOVING CARE, INCLUDING USPS TRACKING, FOR FREE. YOU WILL LOVE IT.  First released in 1972, this compilation album remains one of the favorites in Simon & Garfunkel's catalog. In the same month that the Greatest Hits was released, Simon & Garfunkel performed a reunion concert to benefit the presidential campaign of Sen. George McGovern. Rather than release a straightforward greatest hits album to coincide with the concert, they instead opted to include live versions of some of their most personal songs. At that time, Simon & Garfunkel had not yet released a live album, and the inclusion of those few live tracks helped push the album to the Top 5 on the U.S. albums chart. The Greatest Hits' success was all the more remarkable because Simon & Garfunkel's previous five studio albums were still selling at a strong pace, indicating how much they were missed since breaking up two years earlier.
