Bridge over Troubled Water

Released 1970Folk & Singer-Songwriter
Classic

Their final and biggest album, balancing the soaring title hymn with lighter, worldlier songs. Immaculately produced and hugely popular. A perfect send-off. Released in 1970, it's one of Simon & Garfunkel's later high points.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
