Album Notes  ...........
Simultaneously ending one of the most amazing decades of music, as well as signaling the
demise of the most succesful folk/rock duo. The early release of Bridge Over Trouble Water
was an immediate smash. Garnering critical praise, overwhelming sales helped the title single
and the LP top the charts for ten weeks each. Four hit singles eventually were released from
the album, which went on to win multiple Grammy awards, including 1970s Album of The Year.
The release of The Boxer in 1969, conidered one of the most crafted and poignant story-lines
from Paul Simon's pen elevated the duo to the same breath as Bob Dylan as recording artists.
Simon & Garfunkel and co-producer Roy Halee recorded tracks in Los Angeles, Nashville, and New York
to create a sterling master piece.
...............................................................................
Bridge Over Troubled Water was one of the biggest selling albums of its decade, and it hasn't fallen too far down on the list in the 30-plus years since. The album was perhaps the most delicately textured album to close out the 1960s from any major rock act. Bridge Over Troubled Water, at its most ambitious and bold, on its title track, was a quietly reassuring album; at other times, it was personal yet soothing; and at other times, it was just plain fun.

ALBUM NOTES: ..................................
Personnel includes: Paul Simon (vocals, guitar); Art Garfunkel (vocals);Fred Carter, Jr. (guitar); Jimmy Haskell, Ernie Freeman (strings); Larry Knechtel (keyboards); Joe Osborn (bass); Hal Blaine (drums) Los Incas.Producers include: Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Roy Halee.Recorded between August 11 and November 15, 1969. Originally released on Columbia Records (9914). Includes liner notes by Bud Scoppa.Bridge Over Troubled Water was one of the biggest-selling albums of its decade, and it hasn't fallen too far down on the list in years since. Apart from the gospel-flavored title track, which took some evolution to get to what it finally became, however, much of Bridge Over Troubled Water also constitutes a stepping back from the music that Simon & Garfunkel had made on Bookends -- this was mostly because the creative partnership that had formed the body and the motivation for the duo's four prior albums literally consumed itself in the making of Bridge Over Troubled Water. The overall effect was perhaps the most delicately textured album to close out the 1960s from any major rock act. Bridge Over Troubled Water, at its most ambitious and bold, on its title track, was a quietly reassuring album; at other times, it was personal yet soothing; and at other times, it was just plain fun. The public in 1970 -- a very unsettled time politically, socially, and culturally -- embraced it; and whatever mood they captured, the songs matched the standard of craftsmanship that had been established on the duo's two prior albums. Between the record's overall quality and its four hits, the album held the number one position for two and a half months and spent years on the charts, racking up sales in excess of five million copies. The irony was that for all of the record's and the music's appeal, the duo's partnership ended in the course of creating and completing the album. ~ Bruce Eder ..................................

*Background on Classic 200g Super Vinyl Profile

In 2003, Classic Records launched its now famous Signature Blue Note Mono reissue series. As part of that series Classic developed an "authentic" 200 gram LP profile that replicated that of an original Blue Note record from the 1950's.  Comparing a test pressing on the new profile versus the same title on the normal 180 gram pressing it was discovered that the 200 gram version sounded significantly better.  The 200 gram pressing sounded louder, with more definition and solidity of notes across all frequencies and there was more detail - particularly low level detail like room or hall sounds, pages being turned, musicians whispering and automobile sounds outside the studio all became easier to identify.  At first it was speculated inside Classic Records that the extra weight resulted in the better performance as no one could come up with a better answer given that the stampers were the same as well as the vinyl pellets used on both 180g and 200g pressings.  One day, Michael Hobson, the founder of Classic Records was discussing this unexplainable sonic discovery with the Legendary Mastering Engineer and Sheffield Records founder, Doug Sax when Doug, without hesitation stated "Ah Michael you've discovered the difference in a flat versus conventional profile".  Puzzled, Hobson asked for an explanation which Sax described as going all the way back to 1950's mono pressings and what happened when stereo records came out in the early 1960's.  Sax explained that in the 1950's when mono records had no vertical modulation (only lateral), pressing PolyVinylChloride PVC (plastic) records were more easily pressed on "Flat Profile" dies fitted to the pressing machines since the grooves on the mono stampers were all the same height (no vertical modulation).  The molten vinyl was able to flow evenly across the stampers and fill properly during the molding (pressing) of the record.  The problems started when stereo record cutting came into vogue producing stampers that had variable height grooves sticking up across the diameter of each stamper.  Using the older mono pressing dies resulted in tremendous problems getting the areas between grooves of different heights to fill properly - a groove that is in front of another taller one often got passed over by the flowing molten vinyl resulting in "non-fill" which was audible and thus a "defective" record.  Pressing plants don't like to press defective records and are always looking for high pressing yields or a s few rejects as possible.

To solve the problem, the engineers developed a new pressing die profile which tapers from the center of the die, flattens in the middle of the diameter and then tapers again toward the outside of the die. The new profile was "concave" rather than flat.  When you put a flat stampers onto the concave dies the stampers distort and are no longer flat - the grooves are no longer perpendicular across the stamper and by association across a finished vinyl pressing.  This new die profile created "back pressure" on the flowing vinyl and solved the "non-fill" problem with stereo pressings and resulted in higher yields which was great for pressing plants and good for record companies who wanted good prices on pressings.  The problem was and still is that the new profile records don't sound as good as they could because they are not flat across their profile.  Using a micrometer across the diameter of a 1950's mono records reveals that the thickness is virtually the same across the record's diameter from center label to outer edge but not so for a newer stereo profile pressing which is convex across its diameter resulting from the concave profile dies / distorted stampers.  This is the dirty little secret that Classic had rediscovered was known to old school experts like Doug Sax who founded Sheffield Labs in the 1970's.  After the discovery, Classic Records never looked back and all of its releases and re-pressings after 2003 were on the new 200 gram Flat Profile dies that were specially made for Classic.  Some years later Classic discovered that the very same profile was used by JVC in Japan to produce the legendary UHQR pressings for Mobile Fidelity which are well known to sound better than the conventional Mobile Fidelity pressings of the same titles - it all makes sense now.  The long and the short of this is that Classic 200g Super Vinyl Profile (Flat Profile) pressings are as good as it gets for proper playback without groove distortion from non-flat pressings - Period. ............................

in German Language: ...............
Der größte Erfolg ging einher mit dem Split des Duos. Ungezählte Wochen hielt sich das Album in den internationalen Charts; es enthält neben dem Titelsong Klassiker wie “El Condor Pasa”, “Cecilia”, das Everly-Cover “Bye Bye Love” und natürlich “The Boxer”. Gut klingen tut das Album aufgrund seiner exzellenten Produktion im Grunde in fast jeder Pressung. Die Classic Records-Ausgabe allerdings ist so gut, daß wir sie schon als “definitiv” bezeichnet haben. ..........
**********************************************************************************************
Rezension:......................

Trotz des unglaublichen Erfolgs blieb dies das letzte Album des Duos. Wobei die Frage natürlich erlaubt ist, was man nach einem solchen Wurf noch gemeinsam hätte erreichen können. Mit dem Titelsong und "The Boxer" gelangen zwei Pop-Manifeste, die selbst einen Phil Spector vor Neid erblassen lassen. "Cecilia" kann man als ganz frühen Entwurf für Simons spätere Glanzleistung "Graceland" interpretieren. Textlich sind gleich mehrere brillante Gesellschafts-Momentaufnahmen zu verzeichnen, was wohl auch dazu beitrug, daß die LP 1970 einen Nerv beim Publikum traf. Dann ist da noch die Aufnahme von "Bye Bye Love" als Reminiszenz an die großen Vorbilder The Everly Brothers – gleichzeitig eine Verbeugung wie eine Begegnung auf Augenhöhe!
