The Hit Sounds of Simon and Garfunkel was a "Cash-In" Simon and Garfunkel album released in 1967 (see 1967 in music) by Pickwick Records. The label decided that it would capitalize on the duo's newfound fame by releasing this album, consisting of ten tracks recorded from the late 1950s and early 1960s while the duo still called themselves Tom and Jerry. Simon and Garfunkel sued Pickwick because the company was presenting the music as recently-recorded material. Pickwick eventually withdrew the album from the market.

“I lately met with an old volume from a London bookshop, containing the Greek Minor Poets, and it was a pleasure to read once more only the words Orpheus, Linus, Musæus,—those faint poetic sounds and echoes of a name, dying away on the ears of us modern men; and those hardly more substantial sounds, Mimnermus, Ibycus, Alcæus, Stesichorus, Menander. They lived not in vain. We can converse with these bodiless fames without reserve or personality.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
