1966 MINT ORIGINAL
MONO
the Sounds Of Silence
Simon & Garfunkle
...USA - Columbia 360 Sound - CS 2469 - Stereo
BEAUTIFUL CLEAN....Original 1966 STEREO first pressing vinyl 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.

ATTENTION BUYERS...We had a photography problem while posting this listing...An "excited" buyer put a bid on the item before we could correct the photograph to the actual listing. While we could not replace the error photo because of the bid (see eBay for that nonsense), we were able to add a second photo which IS the correct photo to the listing ...a M- top clean 1966 STEREO first pressing exactly as described within the listing...thanks for your interest.
