As an aside, how did "America" only make it to #97 this year?

I'm guessing that was a live version? I don't clearly recall, but it was either that or it was from an S&G Greatest Hits.  Considering Simon's solo LP came out in April and was on the charts most of the year, any S&G afterthoughts were probably not a priority for Columbia.
