HERE IS A FANTASTIC MONO LP FROM 1968!

PAUL SIMON:"THE PAUL SIMON SONGBOOK".

Best known for his recordings with ART GARFUNKEL,this is Paul's 1ST SOLO ALBUM with fascinating,alternative versions of songs better known in the versions with ART such as THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE,I AM A ROCK etc!

It hardly sold in the UK when FIRST ISSUED IN 1965 and is VERY hard to find as a MONO 1ST PRESSING-MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP ARE 1970s STEREO EDITIONS. 

THIS PRESSING IS FROM 1968 BUT IS STILL THE MUCH RARER MONO EDITION WITH THE SMOOTH EFFECT LABELS,STILL WITH THE "BOXED LOGOS" AND THE INNER SLEEVE ADVERTISING 1968 ISSUED LPs.ALBUM WITH THE UK PRESSED CBS"BOXED LOGOS"DESIGN LABELS.

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER+THE FLIPBACK AT THE BACK WAS PHASED OUT BY THE END OF THE 1960s AND OF COURSE ONLY STEREO REPRESSINGS WERE MADE AFTER 1969 SO EVEN THIS 2ND PRESSING IS STILL OF INTEREST.DON'T FORGET BY 1968 MOST NEW BASIC RECORD PLAYERS COULD PLAY STEREO RECORDS SAFELY AND AS SUCH FEWER MONO LPs WERE MADE AND SOLD,SOME SHOPS ONLY GETTING THEM TO SPECIAL ORDER AND OF COURSE THOSE STICKING WITH MONO WERE OFTEN USING AWFUL EQUIPMENT!

 BPG 62579  +A-1/B-2 MATRIXES. 

LOTS OF BASS-THICK VINYL-FAR THICKER THAN THE WAFER THIN LATER 1970s REISSUES!  

THE DISC HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH JUST A FEW FAINT,HAIRLINE TYPE SURFACE MARKS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE.

NO NASTY CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS! 

EXCELLENT CONDITION! VERY THICK VINYL! 

CLEAN LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE WEAR!

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE STAINING AT THE BACK+ LITTLE OF THE FLIPBACK HAS COME UNSTUCK BUT NOTHING MAJOR!

THE ORIGINAL CBS LPs INNER SLEEVE INCLUDED. 

This highly sought after album was from the collection of Mike Coxhead,a well known,succesful and respected British rock music industry businessman who also worked as a roadie and engineer for bands such as PINK FLOYD,THE WHO and LED ZEPPELIN and many more as well as being a guitarist and keen record collector!

The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!  Most that were buying albums in 1968 were usually using dreadful equipment and most copies sold were in STEREO! 

An ideal opportunity to add a fine and rare album in super condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
