PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

1966 RARE FIRST EDITION ~ NO SONG TITLES ON FRONT COVER
TOP COPY
Simon & Garfunkel
Sounds Of Silence
\ USA - Columbia 360 Sound - CS 2469 - Stereo
BEAUTIFUL 1966 first printing on the highly collected 360 Sound Columbia label ...
FIRST EDITION ~ NO SONG TITLES ON FRONT COVER
The cover was quickly re-designed to include the song titles highlighting their smash hit "I Am A Rock" finding a first print cover without the song titles is close to 1 in every 100 copies of this album = RARE!!!
The cover is brilliant - outer cellophane was just removed = MINT!!
First day issue - Released on January 17, 1966. The album's title is a slight modification of the title of the duo's first major hit, "The Sounds of Silence". The hit song was recorded before this albums release, the electric instruments and drums were overdubbed by Bob Dylan's studio band on June 15, 1965 and released in September 1965 as a single. This album followed 4 months later...
A formidable effort, "Sounds of Silence" introduced us to a songwriter whose poetic gifts and thought-provoking lyrics not only followed hot on the heels of Bob Dylan, but also produced a fresh-sounding melodic work that further strengthened the folk-rock genre. A notable precursor to more works of a profound and lasting import ("Bookends" especially), the album is definitely a timeless gem that gets forgotten until played. Probably one of the best albums from the entire era, honestly. Sound of Silence shows Paul Simon at his writing best with deeper cuts like "Richard Cory" and "A Most Peculiar Man" to go along with classics like "I Am a Rock" and the title track, this album is nearly perfect.
