Great early pressing with wonderful sound. My copy also has a light card stock reinforcement included, who else has this as well? -
Great, fully enveloping sound. My copy has some crackles and pops but it's nothing major. Every track sounds sublime regardless, so hey, can't complain too much -
I just pulled a version mislabeled with the the proper label in the A side and on the B side it says "Fill Your Head With Rock". Has anyone else come across this?

Good pressing, on of the excellent instrument separation and overall mastering. Seek a clean, quiet copy due to any surface noise drowning out quiet sections. -

A long time ago
I did acid at a party
had headphones on
Bye Bye Love came on
I swore it was Don & Phil -
The breakup album. In a big way this is actually the transformation into the first Paul solo album. Yeah I know Art sings that lead/title song, but he was not even there much of the production time. To me as a songwriter, Bookends has Paul's best craft work composing. Bridge Over Troubled Water represents Paul Simon growing up musically & learning the hard way that he can do it all by himself and would be forced to. While this album has it's outstanding songs, obviously the Boxer and the title song, it's just slightly less consistent with the gems than Bookends. Still a great album and better produced by a mile.
It starts out being the two of them, but by the time the album finishes, it's all Paul. Ending with a sad solo, "Song For the Asking", preceded by an oddly placed "Bye Bye Love" Everly Brothers sendup. In retrospect as if they are saying Bye Bye to each other. It ended up being their swan song as a team. The big clue is my other favorite song on this LP, "The Only Living Boy In New York", which is supposed to be about himself stuck in the city unable to do his music with Art away making movies. Baby Driver & the Boxer is all Paul, but Art Garfunkel sneaks in some of the best harmonies of his career on many of these songs.
