ppint. 27th Jan 2017		uk album adds "homeward bound" from the merkin original version of their second album, "parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme", which track was in consequence left off the cbs uk release when it appeared. without it, side two's a bare twelve minutes long, and the album'd've been under half an hour of music - pretty poor value for the full 32/6.



Magic Marmalade 28th May 2016		I am getting the impression that early -mid sixties CBS releases didn't really have their act together, as my Stereo "Sound of Johnny Cash" with the obscured cat# is pretty much borrowed from the US release, then adjusted for UK - without it seems, completely removing all traces of the issue they got it from... And so if the early cat# for this is on the French issue, as you say Wordnot, then they just borrowed their cover, and bodged it for the UK market, until a more "bespoke" cover was made. It might be worth checking any and all early-mid sixties CBS titles for residual traces of other nation's cover details. (that would mean Dylan albums too, which might have some ghost details on). These would be the issues with the orange CBS labels with only 33 (rpm), and not later 33 1/3 printed, which seem to come in in the second half of the sixties (66 even, taking this as a bench-mark).



wordnwot 28th May 2016		Guys, I note that the earlier cat # shows up as the french release in a plenty.



Magic Marmalade 19th Apr 2016		Lord only knows, but I can at least say I can't find another like it, so that's something at least! It's the listings that repeat the hyperbollocks endlessly in a variety of colours and sizes (With or without spaces) that do my head in.... Is this meant to make it easier or harder to read... and thence more attractive? ...Just makes me look elsewhere.



Hawkmarty SUBS 19th Apr 2016		Why was I not surprised that the listing would be by Mr Hyperbole? This comment is the absolutely earliest you will find ever making it the most sought after in the history of the world - ever!!!!!! I would have done all capitals but that would be going over the top. Where does the figure of 900 copies come from?



Magic Marmalade 19th Apr 2016		Been pressing in my nose into eBay's basement... (Didn't quite sound the way I wanted it to!) ... It seems there's a lot going on with this mono album. Although this can generally be picked up cheaply, there are some specific instances where it can hit the upper end of a hundred poonds. The early issues can sometimes be found refered to as "Tiger Beat" (sometimes mistakenly: "Teen beat") issues, which is to do with an objection raised by that magazine to it's featuring in Garfunkel's pocket on the back cover, and so these early issues were withdrawn and the offending article airbrushed out. With it went the flip-back sleeve, and so are reasonably rare. (See Here for more info on this album) But further nosing on my part reveals an even rarer subdivision of this earliest issue, which has an "additional" cat number: 62408, which was removed even quicker, as this ebay listing attests: Sounds Of Silence ebay Listing Mine has pretty much all of this listing's features except the extra cat number (On front cover, above the CBS box, and on spine), and there are others in the sold listings on ebay that have achieved quite high prices that are exact to mine (Albeit in far better shape!) that also do not feature this extra cat.... so it's worth keeping yer peepers open for these two little details if you have a copy.



Magic Marmalade 6th Jul 2015		Just recorded this... some of these sound like different versions of the songs I know. Obviously, taking into account the mono, Homeward Bound has a more youthful Paul Simon vocal than the one I'm familiar with, and I Am A Rock seems more intimately recorded. Not to mention that a song I've not heard before: Somewhere They Can't Find Me, is essentially a folk rock version of Wednesday Morning 3 A.M... same lyrics! (I did not know this!)



Magic Marmalade 5th Jul 2015		Added scan of my flip-back sleeve back cover, orange rough texture labels, and original orange inner sleeve. (Just noticed the "GB" on the flap bottom right of back cover scan)



Magic Marmalade 5th Jul 2015		Thanks Judge... I'll dig it out anyway and have a peruse.



TheJudge 5th Jul 2015		Issue 437 (Feb. '15). Only mentions the stereo version, though.



Magic Marmalade 5th Jul 2015		Any further info on this release? I picked it up at a boot fair today for 50p... but looking around the net, some have flip back sleeves, others don't, some with "mono boxes" some with 33 on label (rough or smooth), some with blue title/no sog list on front, others green and with. Tried to find the recent RC article on S & GFYS (he he), but can't remember which one it is.



kab2112 SUBS 17th Oct 2013		The Kathy of "Kathy's song" lived about 1 mile down the road from where I live now.



kab2112 SUBS 17th Oct 2013		The back cover has 32/2 written on it. About £1.61p in today's money. I bought this album new, from a record shop called Terry's of Caernarvon - it's long gone !!
