The Columbia Studio Recordings (1964-1970) is a 5-disc box set of Simon and Garfunkel recordings, released by Columbia Records in 2001. The CDs are packaged in miniaturized cardboard sleeves resembling the original vinyl record dust jackets, and a booklet containing photos and writing of interest is also included.
The five discs are augmented with a few rarities, many of which made their debut on 1997's Old Friends retrospective, rendering the previous collection nearly (but not completely) obsolete.
Also made obsolete by The Columbia Studio Recordings is the 1990 anthology Collected Works. The two releases share the same fifty-eight recordings, with The Columbia Studio Recordings adding ten bonus tracks for good measure.
