With such classic songs as Scarborough fair / Canticle (a major American hit), Homeward bound (the only UK hit from the album, this was a ten hit on both sides of the Atlantic), For Emily wherever I may find her (sung solo by Art) and the 59th street bridge song - Feeling groovy (a hit for Harper's Bizarre in the UK and USA), this is yet another masterpiece from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.
The famous songs already mentioned are available on countless hits compilations of their music, so if you are thinking of buying this, it is because you want to hear the other songs. They are all of a high quality, notably Cloudy (with its incredible imagery), Big bright green pleasure machine (about TV advertising) and Dangling conversation (about cocktail party gossip).
Yet the most notable track of all may be 7 o'clock news / Silent night. With a peaceful Christmas carol as background, this track reflects on the state of the world back then as relayed in news bulletins. Of course, news bulletins generally focus on problems and tragedies, so a piece like this could have been recorded at any time. Despite world progress, news bulletins are always full of despair, never more so than while I am writing this, soon after the Indian Ocean earthquake.
If you are interested in more than just their hits, this Simon and Garfunkel album is definitely worth a listen.

I updated my collection of S&G music a couple of years ago, by purchasing the Definitive collection through Amazon ( I had this on tape) and Bridge Over Troubled Water on remastered CD, i read somewhere that Parsley Sage Rosemary & Thyme was an album you had to hear, so I ordered a copy, despite having the 'singles'. The whole album is amazing, i am boring my entire family by raving on about it and playing it to death. I love it all , but particulary at the moment 'Patterns' and 'Flowers Never Bend With the Rainfall' It is pure pleasure, the sixties relaxed folk rock sound in every song and yet another example of Paul Simon's genius.

A Truly wonderful album which just displays a feel for the time and place.From the Opening of Scarborough Fair to the beautiful Joys of Cloudy and the upbeat tempo of The 59th Street bridge song its as if you have been transported back to the sixties.Also included on the album is their top five hit Homeward Bound.A personal Favourite is The Dangling Conversation with its account of a couple drifting apart.The album ends with 7 O clock/Silent night.A grim reminder of the times that were being lived and a big comment on the state of America in 1966.The Bonus tracks of Patterns and A poem on the Underground wall showcase Paul Simons Raw and Personal direction.A great album.
