The Collection: Simon & Garfunkel is the fourth box set of Simon & Garfunkel recordings. Initially released November 15, 2004 as a 3-CD set of the second, fourth and fifth Simon & Garfunkel studio albums, it was later reissued November 26, 2007, expanded to six discs, including all five studio albums, plus a DVD of the September 19, 1981 free concert in Central Park. All six discs are in a mini-LP format and the albums come with the bonus tracks that were presented in The Columbia Studio Recordings (1964-1970). All of the discs in the 6-CD collection, and their cases, are housed in a box set featuring a silhouetted image of the duo with Paul Simon holding an acoustic guitar and Art Garfunkel sitting on a stool. The earlier 3-CD set had alternative artwork with a photo of the duo.
