SIMON AND GARFUNKEL

"BOOKENDS" 1968 ORIGINAL MONO US COLUMBIA KCL-2729 WITH POSTER!

MEGA-RARE MONO US, THE FIRST PRESSING OF THE CLASSIC LP, AND THE FINAL SIMON & GARFUNKEL LP ISSUED IN MONO.  1968 WAS A VERY BAD YEAR FOR THE MONO LP, WITH CUT-OUT BINS AND RECALLS PRETTY MUCH RUINING THE DAY FOR THOSE OF US WHO ADORED OUR MONO RECORDS! THE EARLY STEREO VERSIONS OF ROCK ALBUMS ALL PRETTY MUCH SUCKED IN COMPARISON, SINCE TO GET A GREAT MONO MIX THE PRODUCERS & ARTITS HAD TO DEVOTE THE MOST ATTENTION TO THAT MIX, WHEREAS AT LEAST UNTIL "SERGEANT PEPPER" STEREO MIXES WERE AN AFTERTHOUGHT, IF GIVEN ANY THOUGHT AT ALL. SO SHOULD WE BLAME THE BEATLES FOR THE DEMISE OF MONO...??? 

 THIS IS TRULY ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL US MONO LP'S, ON A LEVEL WITH "CHEAP THRILLS" OR "WAITING FOR THE SUN".

CONDITION DETAILS:

• COVER HAS SOME FAINT SUPERFICIAL SCUFFS THAT ARE BARELY VISIBLE UNLESS YOU TURN THE COVER A CERTAIN WAY TO THE LIGHT, MINOR
• LABELS ARE GORGEOUS
• PLAYING SURFACES STILL SHINE
• FULL SIZED COLOR POSTER IS MINT

TRACKS:

• BOOKENDS THEME
• SAVE THE LIFE OF MY CHILD
• AMERICA
• OVERS
• VOICES OF OLD PEOPLE

• BOOKENDS THEME
• FAKIN' IT
• PUNKY'S DILEMMA
• MRS. ROBINSON
• A HAZY SHADE OF WINTER
• AT THE ZOO
