Simon & Garfunkel SOUNDS OF SILENCE reel to reel 3.75ips. Condition is "Very Good-Excellent".
This is from my personal tape collection and it sounds almost as good as it did back in 1965. I always prided myself in keeping the boxes in as good a shape as the recordings and this one is no exception Tested all the way through on both sides. This tape comes from a smoke free home and I have a 100% positive ebayer rating. This tape brought back so many memories of my youth and is a must for all S&G afficionados.
Released in 1966, Sounds of Silence is the album that brought Simon and Garfunkel back together and had a huge impact on their success. Ironically, the duo had already called it quits due to poor sales of their debut album until Bob Dylan’s band overdubbed the track ‘The Sound of Silence’ without the band’s knowledge. Although the song first appeared in acoustic form on Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. , it sounds better than ever this time around with the addition of drums, tasteful electric guitars and an overall improvement in production. Strangely enough though, it’s still the outstanding vocals of both Simon and Garfunkel that steal the show and they sound nearly flawless as they harmonize throughout the entirety of the opening track.
I can’t recommend Sounds of Silence highly enough. It’s a groundbreaking release from one of the most influential duos in music. Anyone who appreciates well-written lyrics or fancies themselves some folk tunes will not regret checking it out. Sure, it can’t touch their classic Bridge Over Troubled Water , but it’s a damn fine effort that contains some of Simon and Garfunkel’s most memorable tracks. (Review by ATARI staff)
