Release date: 25-10-2008(originally released in 1968) 2008 US exclusive LP pressed on Audiophile Quality High Definition VIRGIN VINYL featuring 12 tracks sourced from the original stereo master tapes -Paul Simon has said this is "the quintessential Simon and Garfunkel album." It is certainly far-ranging, a mostly dark, beautifully written voyage that includes both the epic "America" and the Graduate theme "Mrs. Robinson," still a pop-radio staple. The duo produced the record themselves, with brilliant restraint.includes bonus replica poster, presented in sealed & stickered picture sleeve. Tracks: 01. Bookends Theme 02. Save The Life Of My Child 03. America 04. Overs 05. Voices Of Old People 06. Old Friends 07. Bookends Theme 08. Fakin' It 09. Punky's Dilemma 10. Mrs. Robinson 11. A Hazy Shade Of Winter 12. At The Zoo
It marked the duo's emergence as both a brilliant creative force and one of their era's biggest-selling recording
acts, this is a brilliantly realized tour de force that captures the
pleasures, tensions and fears of its era as vividly as any '60s album.
Simon's literate, emotionally complex songwriting is matched by the
ambitious production, which elevates the fiery folk-rockers 'A Hazy
Shade of Winter' and 'Save the Life of My Child,' the cinematic flights
'America' and 'Fakin' It,' the intimate ballads 'Old Friends' and
'Bookends Theme' plus the deceptively whimsical 'Mrs. Robinson' and 'At
the Zoo',
