UPDATE: Good news! The buyer who tried to mar our reputation, as well as others, has now been removed from the eBay community. It remains to be seen whether his so-called friends will continue his dirty work, but as of now, we are elated to report that his other two eBay IDs are also suspended. Thank you to the many sellers and customers who offered their support, as that helped tremendously during our efforts to get the job done. Now on to more pleasant things...
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

NO SONG TITLES ON FRONT COVER
.......................................................
The cover was quickly re-designed to include the song titles highlighting their smash hit "I Am A Rock" finding a first print cover without the song titles is close to 1 in every 100 copies of this album = RARE!!!

First day issue - Released on January 17, 1966. The album's title is a slight modification of the title of the duo's first major hit, "The Sounds of Silence". The hit song was recorded before this albums release, the electric instruments and drums were overdubbed by Bob Dylan's studio band on June 15, 1965 and released in September 1965 as a single. This album followed 4 months later...
A formidable effort, "Sounds of Silence" introduced us to a songwriter whose poetic gifts and thought-provoking lyrics not only followed hot on the heels of Bob Dylan, but also produced a fresh-sounding melodic work that further strengthened the folk-rock genre. A notable precursor to more works of a profound and lasting import ("Bookends" especially), the album is definitely a timeless gem that gets forgotten until played. Probably one of the best albums from the entire era, honestly. Sound of Silence shows Paul Simon at his writing best with deeper cuts like "Richard Cory" and "A Most Peculiar Man" to go along with classics like "I Am a Rock" and the title track, this album is nearly perfect.
