Wonderful collection, expect to see this as a "go to" Holiday gift this coming season. My only regret (there are ALWAYS regrets in the reissue world) is that the mono versions of Discs 1-5 were not made available. Or a disc of 45 single versions...many were different mixes. I know, I know...Paul would rather eat week old bagels then let those mono tracks see the light of day again. Oh well, still a great collection that harkens back to my youth (and will for quite a few others). Happy Holidays!

I saw an online conversation about the Simon & Garfunkel mono recordings on a discussion board somewhere. Someone commented that most or all of the mono master tapes had been destroyed in a fire. I don't know if that's true, but it would explain the situation. Still, the multi-tracks exist (the albums were all remixed a few years ago), so the mono mixes could be reconstructed, using vinyl pressings as a guide - or they could even do needle-drops if the vinyl is sufficiently pristine.

Destroyed? That's... interesting. I've always heard that it's because Paul Simon keeps vetoing the releases of the mono versions (even though THAT in of itself is also a rumor which I don't know where it originated from). Do you mind sharing a link to that forum if you can still remember it?

I'll stick with the 2001 Legacy box set. It has all of the unreleased tracks and the mini album covers are much cooler looking than the ones in this new set because they don't have the white borders. There's no way they could improve on the fidelity of the 2001 set. Re-remasters never sound as good. Nice that they've finally remastered "The Graduate" soundtrack though. Hopefully it will be available on it's own at some point.

I gotta agree on the mini-sleeves. They now look dorky with the white borders. Yep, the 2001 set is great. I remember at the time I got it the 2001 liner notes were fantastic and really captured the era of the releases. Good set!

Excluding remastering, is there any previously unissued material? I didn't notice any. And for the price, why wouldn't the bonus material from the 2001 box be made available? I guess they're saving that for yet another release to garner even more money.

Thanks.

But the two boys developed an intense, close, friendship, initially based around their shared sense of humour. Both of them were avid readers of Mad magazine, which had just started publishing when the two of them had met up, and both could make each other laugh easily.

At the time he recorded that, when he had returned to New York at the end of the summer, Simon had a job as a song plugger for a publishing company, and he gave the publishing company the rights to that song and its B-side, which led to that B-side getting promoted by the publisher, and ending up covered on one of the biggest British albums of 1964, which went to number two in the UK charts:

Simon mentioned that he had actually made a couple of records before, as part of a duo. Would Wilson be at all interested in a vocal *duo*? Wilson would be interested. Simon and Garfunkel auditioned for him, and a few days later were in the Columbia Records studio on Seventh Avenue recording their first album as a duo, which was also the first time either of them would record under their own name.

The album was recorded in March 1964, and was scheduled for release in October. In the meantime, they both made plans to continue with their studies and their travels. Garfunkel was starting to do postgraduate work towards his doctorate in mathematics, while Simon was now enrolled in Brooklyn Law School, but was still spending most of his time travelling, and would drop out after one semester. He would spend much of the next eighteen months in the UK.

Simon would later record that arrangement, without crediting Carthy, and this would lead to several decades of bad blood between them, though Carthy forgave him in the 1990s, and the two performed the song together at least once after that.

But that single was never released, and as far as Columbia were concerned, Simon and Garfunkel were a defunct act, especially as Tom Wilson, who had signed them, was looking to move away from Columbia.

This is always presented as Wilson massively changing the sound of the duo without their permission or knowledge, but the fact is that they had *already* gone folk-rock, back in March, so they were already thinking that way.

Simon was even more excited when the record started creeping up the national charts, though he was less enthused when his copy of the single arrived from America. He listened to it, and thought the arrangement was a Byrds rip-off, and cringed at the way the rhythm section had to slow down and speed up in order to stay in time with the acoustic recording:

Art Garfunkel, the singer and songwriter best known as half of the duo Simon & Garfunkel, will perform in Boston Dec. 17 and 18. In advance of his upcoming appearance, he spoke with WGBH Radio Host Henry Santoro about his writing, his favorite Simon & Garfunkel albums and the turbulence of 1968. The transcript below has been edited for clarity.

Henry Santoro: Art, you're a voracious reader. You're a man who loves to walk. You're a lifelong New Yorker. How did it come to be that you have cataloged every book you have ever read since 1968?

Art Garfunkel: Here's how I see it. If you're going to read a book and you've finished the book, why don't other people write down the name of the book they read? And if they did, month after month, year in and year out, they would get up to 1,280-something, which is where I'm at now.

Garfunkel: Yeah, well, I became a writer somewhere in the last few years. I began to have confidence and belief into the notebook I was keeping in my back pocket, which had these constant prose, poem, bits, I would call them bits. I would keep making these little illuminated moments come alive with a rhythm and an inner rhyme. And I collected them over 30 years.

Garfunkel: Relaxed about my tight commercial interest 50 years ago. Henry, you might be surprised to see how much I cared to follow this new budding Simon & Garfunkel career with love and smarts, and to have the soundtrack to "The Graduate," in those days, felt very much in the way. We felt, both of us, we don't want a soundtrack album. You can't have Scarborough Fair played on a flute and a recorder. No, that's an adulterated version.
