Review

Old Friends is a boxed set of Simon and Garfunkel songs, released in 1997. The
three-disc anthology collects most of the duo's best-loved works, adding several
then-rarities for good measure.

The cover features a photo of the artists in their heyday. Paul Simon appears in
a curious pose, with his hand appearing to pinch the air in front of his face.
The reason for this is that Simon was actually smoking a cigarette at the time,
neither he nor the record label were in favor of promoting this habit in 1997.

It should be noted that most (but not all, curiously) of the rare tracks
included on Old Friends subsequently appeared on both the reissues of Simon and
Garfunkel's five studio albums as well as the later boxed set The Columbia
Studio Recordings (1964-1970) (a collection whose title only implies
completeness).
