Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water - 40th Anniversary Edition CD

Bridge Over Troubled Water has sold over 25-million copies worldwide (15 million since 1991) and was one of the biggest-selling albums of its decade, topping the charts world-wide including 33 weeks at #1 and 6
YEARS in the chart in the UK alone! Perhaps the most delicately textured album to close out the 1960s from any major rock act, Bridge Over Troubled Water, at its most ambitious and bold, was a quietly reassuring album; at other times, it was personal yet soothing; and at other times still, it was just plain fun.

It was certainly their most musically ambitious, with "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "The Boxer" employing thundering drums and tasteful orchestration, and "Cecilia" marking one of Simon's first forays into world music rhythms. It also caught the confused, reflective tenor of the times better than almost any other popular release of 1970.
