Remarks

^a as Tom & Jerry

^b I Am a Rock was released in Great Britain in 1965 with Leaves That Are Green as the B-side.

^c My Little Town did not appear on any Simon & Garfunkel album, but did appear on the solo albums Still Crazy After All These Years by Paul Simon and Breakaway by Art Garfunkel. The B-side of the single was not a Simon - & - Garfunkel song, but the songs Rag Doll by Art Garfunkel and You're Kind by Paul Simon.
