Art Garfunkel Second Avenue

During his solo-recording career it often happened that singles were released that became a hit in various countries but not included on an album. In 1977 CBS/Columbia released '(What a)Wonderful world' with James Taylor & Paul Simon, in 1979 'Bright eyes' became a hit. Both songs were rapidly included on later pressings of both 'Watermark' and 'Fate for breakfast'. Which also meant that songs were taken off of the album:
- 'Fingerpaint' was included on the initial Dutch release of the lp Watermark, but this one was quickly withdrawn and replaced by one with '(What a) Wonderful world'.

But another one that became a hit was 'Second Avenue'. Was it a 'left-over' from the wonderful Angel Clare-album? It is a very nice song. Maybe someone can tell more about this recording?

Here a view of the covers of the single CBS 2672:
