CONDITION DETAILS UK IMPORT (Made in London). Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded, not just visually graded); light-crackles at the very beginning of side 1. Cover looks great; no record-ring, no scuffing; crease in top-left and very-lightly in the lower-left. Back cover is also in excellent condition with light-scuffing at the top-center and a gold stereo sticker in the top-right. Orange record-label. Inner sleeve is generic white, all three seams are solid. Spine is unbroken, clean, and easy-to-read. Very-little shelf-wear along the top and bottom-edge. Opening is crisp with signs of light use. (This record is not a cut-out.)

ABOUT THE RECORD The album's title, Sounds of Silence is a slight modification of the title of the duo's first hit, The Sound of Silence which had earlier been released on the album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., and later on The Graduate. Without the knowledge of Simon and Garfunkel, electric instruments and drums were overdubbed by Bob Dylan's studio band. This new version was released as a single in September 1965, and opens the album. Homeward Bound was released on the album in the UK, placed at the beginning of Side 2 before Richard Cory. Richard Cory was based on a poem by Edwin Arlington Robinson. Anji is an instrumental piece that Simon had picked up, presumably in London, from guitarist Davey Graham. The only brand new Paul Simon compositions on the album were Blessed and We've Got a Groovy Thing Goin'. The album cover photo was shot at Franklin Canyon Park in Los Angeles, California.
