Edited 7 months agoI have an old garage sale copy with many miles. It sounds great. I would love to hear a VG or better copy, because mine still sounds great. Awesome recording.
-
I absolutely love this album! It was definitely worth the 5 dollars I paid for it. Mine had a poster with it to… did anyone else have one as well? But anyway 10/10 on sound quality. -
Always try to look for a clean original (this Santa’s Maria press is superb) which you know is 💯 AAA. I have clean copies of this which sounds amazing on my Thorens TD160, ortofon om30, marantz 1060 amp and paradigm speakers.
90% of the reissues include a digital step no matter what they try to pedal to you. If they do get the analog tapes and cut from the tape with NO digital step you get poor quality control from the pressing plant. Reissues are almost never the way to go. -

best it gets here first original pressing soundstage is wide and clean and instrument separation is superb as well!!!!!!!!!

Edited 2 years agoJarring to hear the fat Moog synth bass and spaceship sounds. Otherwise, some solid writing, guitar and harmony vocal work. "Mrs Robinson" is a classic.
Very nice three-dimensional pressing with good dynamics. 3.5 stars plus an extra .5 for that great soundstage. -
Edited 2 years agoI have a US 1968 pressing PC-9529 and I would like to know the exact month and how the mixing on this copy compares to other releases. Also, if you don't own a copy of this masterpiece, I will personally buy a copy and break into your home to give it to you. Thanks! -

Amazing album. I see this album/Simon & Garfunkel everywhere I go and I would usually them by with no thought but I’m glad I finally gave this album a chance. Just bought a mono copy!
