An album and song whose title is as relevant today as when it was first released in 1970, the soothing balm of its hymn-like musical movement and salvational words endure in these turbulent times this half-century later.

But no one song trick pony, BOTW contains many landmark songs which play a major part in the fabric of modern music folklore. This gold vinyl celebration of one of the finest albums to be found in most household collections also stands the test of time with the solitary, poetic folk of The Boxer and the upbeat and catchy Cecilia and Keep The Customer Satisfied.

Transitioning from their traditional folk approach by experimenting with different musical styles, Simon and Garfunkel, backed up by various members of the infamous Wrecking Crew session players, expand upon their palette of close harmonies especially with off the wall vocals on the Only Living Boy In New York.

On what proved to be the final studio album that this universally acclaimed and distinguished duo recorded, this multi-platinum selling collection of astutely observed and beautifully rendered vocals and musicianship continues to both majestically enthral and entertain.
