While it would turn out to be the final studio set for a duo surrounded by creative and personal disagreement, Simon and Garfunkel's collaborative ethos and soaring harmonies – combined with reflective narratives centered on the American experience, friendship, romance, and farewells – combine to turn the 11-track work into a paean to resolution, reconciliation, calm, and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHome to the legendary title track graced by Garfunkel's pacifying solo lead vocals as well as the equally famous folk ballad \"The Boxer,\" Peruvian-based \"El Condor Past (If I Could),\" upbeat \"Cecilia,\" and rock n' rolling \"Baby Driver\" – recently the inspiration behind the film of the same name –\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBridge over Troubled Water\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eremains as renowned for its musical diversity as its lyrical poignancy.

Our premier UD1S edition brings the record's unique traits to the fore.
