More of the Music of Simon and Garfunkel
We played a big stack of copies a while back and ran into all kinds of problems.
Some were dull, some were spitty, many were smeared, and far too many were gritty.
The later pressings didn’t solve any of these problems.
In fact, none of the Red Label copies we’ve ever played sounded good enough on either side to merit a Hot Stamper grade. If you want good sound for this album, 360 stereo pressings seem to be the only way to go. The mono pressings we played were painfully bad.
Stick with stereo on this album.
The Mono pressings — at least the ones we’ve played — aren’t worth anybody’s time (scratch that: any audiophile’s time).
