          1964 TOP CLEAN MONO ORIGINAL!

                              1st Columbia Records LP BY:

              SIMON AND GARFUNKEL

    WEDNESDAY MORNING 3:AM

               USA - 360 Sound Columbia Records - CL2249 (MONO) 

...CLEAN ...FINAL COLLECTION COPY!

Rare find so clean... ORIGINAL 1964 very first album in glorious mono for Columbia Records and actually was their first album as the other first album ("The Hits Of") was quickly withdrawn over a law suit by the duo... So, here was the dawning of what would be a superstarshine career...and they had a smash hit with the "Sounds Of Silence" which, strangely enough, was re-recorded on their next album...

The scarce mono first press offers different song mixes and a bold warm punch in the production that is lacking from the stereo copy

When Paul Simon fled New York for England in the early '60s, he was leaving behind a former life in search of a more sophisticated folk sound, following the trend for intelligent collegiate types at the time. Simon & Garfunkel's debut album for Columbia Records captures a couple of young, often cerebral, unfailingly earnest singers trying to create something new under the sun. The combination of creatively arranged folk standards and embryonic Simon originals sounds charming now, and very much affecting. The standout is the tune that--in a rearranged version on their next album, announcing the arrival of folk-rock--would make them stars and help set their musical course: the first great alienation anthem, "The Sounds of Silence" -- here in its original recording from 48 years ago
