This single uses a transitional label that Columbia introduced in 1970 but quickly discarded by 1972 in favor of a gray label as seen in many of the singles below. It did not come with a picture sleeve. (Much thanks to Jim Melanson and Vince Tasciotti for this information.) US #4, UK #5. At this point, Columbia had started pressing Paul Simon's singles in stereo in addition to the mono mixes they had been using in the 1960s.

This was also released as a radio station mono/stereo A-side-only white-label promo. (Say that ten times fast.) It looks similar to the following Simon & Garfunkel release. US #22, UK #15.

A US #2 hit for Simon. In the UK, apparently these sides were flipped due to the BBC's refusal to broadcast songs that mentioned commercial products essentially as advertisements.

The top images are of the French pressing of this single, with the picture sleeve, with the US pressing of the 45 below. I don't know if the US pressing actually came with a picture sleeve (anyone else?). This was the other of Simon’s two #2 hits on the pop charts in 1973, along with “Kodachrome.”

1. Kodachrome
2. Was A Sunny Day
3. Loves Me Like A Rock
4. Take Me To The Mardi Gras

This EP was released in conjunction with the album of the same name. I believe that it sounds somewhat different from the versions you hear on the mono single mixes and the stereo albums, since it's quadraphonic. The "Special Coin Operator Release" betrays its intention for use in jukeboxes, though mine is in decent enough condition that it may never have been used in one.

This is an interesting single. The copy that I have uses a live version of "Duncan" that I'm pretty sure is the exact version heard on Live Rhymin', Paul Simon's concert album from 1974, which means that that side of the single couldn't have been released in 1972. I'm guessing this is a later 1974 radio station pressing when the A-side was changed to the live version.

This is Simon & Garfunkel’s last single that they released together, a studio reunion project that they each placed on their solo albums in 1975—Simon’s Still Crazy After All These Years and Garfunkel’s Breakaway. This is a white-label promotional radio station copy of the single, which along with its release in a mono-stereo format shown here, was also released on an EP with the second side of the 45 featuring Paul Simon’s “You’re Kind” and Art Garfunkel’s “Rag Doll,” which were other songs on their respective 1975 albums. The single eventually reached #9 on the American pop charts.

US #1 hit for Simon, but only #23 in the UK. Anyone know if it had a picture sleeve?

Promotional copy. This single was backed with "Have A Good Time," as a release from Greatest Hits, Etc., but never charted.

Simon released this in conjunction with the album and film One-Trick Pony. US #6, UK #58.
