Simon & Garfunkel quietly slipped Bookends, their fourth album, into the bins with a whisper in March 1968. Most of the S&G albums issued in Japan were compilations the original LPs didn’t sell well and don’t turn up very often.Ī gave Bookends a rare 5 star review: This is a particularly nice sounding copy of this album, which is significant, since the master tapes for this album disappeared from the Columbia vaults years ago and all current reissues have been mastered from lower quality tapes.īackground: While Simon & Garfunkel sold a lot of albums in the United States and the UK, they weren’t that popular in Japan.
The disc has clearly only been played a couple of times. The disc is M- on aide one and VG++ on side two, where there are two tiny inaudible marks. The cover is M- and still has the original shrink wrap. Offered for sale is a scarce Japanese pressing of Simon & Garfunkel’s LP, Bookends, complete with the obi, lyric insert and poster.Ībout this copy: This copy of Bookends is a 1973 Japanese pressing of an album that was originally released in 1968.
