This Album was mastered in Half-Speed technology which allows more time for the Original Session Master Tape to be transferred perfectly to Vinyl, a very costly and time-consuming process.
PAUL SIMON - SURPRISE - 1/2 SPEED MASTERED AUDIOPHILE LP
Among the most popular artists and greatest songwriters of our time, Paul Simon returned with his first album in six years and the album titled Surprise is exactly that. First, three songs were co-written with electronic music guru Brian Eno second, the other songs are straightforward, wonderfully American pop. Surprise is a pleasant surprise for Simon fans. I received this album as a birthday gift - my first Paul Simon album since Graceland. That s obviously a span of many years almost 20 and my musical tastes have since migrated to the more modern sounds of Arcade Fire, Ryan Adams, Zero 7, Audioslave, The Shins, etc. Perhaps an eclectic mix of artists, but all pioneers in the modern era of rock.Check out Mymusicfix E-Bay Store for additional Vinyl to view our current items up on E-Bay.

COLLECTORS INFO ABOUT Classic Records TITLES
Classic Records has proven to be an Audiophile Company second to none in the new millennium. But ALL CLASSIC RECORDS TITLES ARE NOW OUT OF PRINT SINCE THE COMPANY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS IN 2010. These Editions have become some of the rarest pressings in the Audiophile Collector s Market. Just try to find them at any Audiophile Retailer after the next few months. They are simply gone from the market and Mymusicfix has seen some these First Editions sell for over 800.
When you take that into consideration, what will this Audiophile Pressing will be worth in the years ahead? It could be one of the most collectible pressings ever especially since Classic records is no longer in business.
How rare and valuable are each one of these titles now still Factory Sealed Priceless
Mymusicfix has a very limited amount of these now Rare Factory Sealed pressings. We re sure you may not have known about some of these titles existed. Have fun collecting these Masterpieces
These are tremendous titles and artists that Mymusicfix still has in these LIMITED Edition STICKERS but we have very few pieces left of each title and prices will continue to rise as inventory continues to dwindle
This Classic Limited Edition Audiophile LP was mastered from the Original Session Tapes to 180 Gram Heavy Virgin Vinyl.
This Simon and Garfunkel Classic Pressing has been critically acclaimed as the quietest and finest ever produced of this BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER recording. It is a new listening experience that will virtually feel as if you were in the studio with Simon and Garfunkel.
After a decade of pop stardom, America s favorite folk rock duo were just about ready to go their separate ways at least Simon was but not before releasing this gem as a swan song. Possibly Simon and Garfunkel s most diverse album, BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER firmly established them as creators of pop standards on the par with Irving Berlin or Johnny Mercer. The title tune alone, a beautiful unfolding gospel-twinged vow of emotional commitment places them in the pop Hall of Fame forever.
The story obviously doesn t stop there. Foreshadowing Simon s solo work, the jubilant love song Celia and the poignant yearning El Condor Pasa both turned to the traditions of other cultures for music inspiration. The highly metaphorical The Boxer is the only real throwback to Simon s more self-conscious early work. The transient production of The Only Living Boy In New York puts a pop sheen on an early example of Randy Newman s influence on Simon. What a way to say good-bye.

Paul Simon s First Release In Over 5 Years 180g Vinyl
This 10-song disc is Paul Simon s first album in over five years and is his most heartfelt and introspective to date.
The album features the 2010 single Getting Ready for Christmas Day . Instead of sleigh bells and choirs, Getting ready for Christmas Day has the ragged charm of the Simon and Garfunkel hit Cecelia. The single also samples Reverend J.M Gates 1941 pre-war speech.
Paul Simon has a long, distinguished musical career that began in the 1960s as half of Simon and Garfunkel. The iconic musician has won numerous Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice.
This remarkable, thoughtful, often joyful record deserves to be recognized as among Paul Simon s very finest achievements. - Elvis Costello liner notes author
His BEST since Graceland. - Rolling Stone
So Beautiful Or So What balances great poetry and pop. Paul Simon is a national treasure. - NPR
...at 69, Simon has returned to his polyglot musical influences...to fashion a startlingly powerful collection of songs that successfully mix the jaunty near-danceability of his world-music adventures with serious lyrics about impending death, the vagaries of love, and, especially, the many unknowables contained in the word God. - Robert Baird, Stereophile, July 2011, pg. 123
Musically, So Beautiful or So What leans on Simon s wide knowledge of and familiarity with the musics of Africa, Brazil, and old-fashioned gospel. - Robert Baird, Stereophile, July 2011, pg. 123
Simon grabs the listener s attention from the opening track, Getting Ready for Christmas Day, which kicks off with a soulful dance beat worthy of latter-day Marvin Gaye... The instrumentation is an exotic tapestry of violas, sax, celeste, tabla, fiddle, slide baritone, clay pot, kora, harp and sampled gospel recordings. - Greg Cahill, TAS Magazine, September 2011, pg. 138
Fremer Rated 9 out of 10 for Music, 8 out of 10 for Sound
The parts are good enough without them adding up to more than the whole, but they consistently manage that and combined with the music, which does the same, it produces a provocative, powerful package filled with beauty, wonder and mystery that has the weight and staying power of his greatest albums. - Michael Fremer, Music Angle, Music 9/10, Sound 8/10

25th Anniversary Reissue of Paul Simon s Ground-Breaking Album Graceland Which Features the Hit You Can Call Me Al .
In many ways, Graceland was the most extraordinary experience in my entire career.... The insight into rhythm was the great gift that I received from making the trip to South Africa, and collaborating with African musicians. -- Paul Simon
The story of the making of Graceland and the controversy it created, is told in Under African Skies, a full-length documentary from two-time Emmy and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Joe Berlinger. The film debuted at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, kicking off the year-long celebration commemorating the 25th anniversary of Simon s musical and cultural achievement with Graceland.
The universal appeal of the music of Graceland proved more powerful and enduring than the political hotbed attending its creation. In 1986, the album sold 14 million copies worldwide, and received universal praise from critics around the globe.
Paul Simon, a 12-time Grammy Award-winner, and composer of then two Grammy-awarded albums of the year Bridge Over Troubled Water, Still Crazy After All These Years traveled to South Africa to record with local artists. Simon and the members of Ladysmith Black Mambazo subsequently performed on TV s Saturday Night Live and appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone.
By January of 1987, You Can Call Me Al was everywhere and Graceland won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards in 1987. Then, in an unprecedented carryover, the album garnered the Grammy for Song of the Year with its title track in 1988. The album generated three hit singles and kept Paul Simon and the Graceland tour on the road for five years.
During his distinguished career Paul Simon has been the recipient of many honors and awards including 12 Grammy Awards, three of which Bridge Over Troubled Water , Still Crazy After All These Years and Graceland were albums of the year. In 2003 he was given a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for his work as half of the duo Simon and Garfunkel. He is a member of The Songwriters Hall of Fame, a recipient of their Johnny Mercer Award and is in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Simon and Garfunkel and as a solo artist. His song Mrs. Robinson from the motion picture The Graduate was named in the top ten of The American Film Institute s 100 Years 100 Songs.
Prior to Graceland, the music of South Africa was largely unknown outside the country, except to a small minority of world music fans ... Peter Gabriel
Graceland continues to provide rewards to its listeners and remains a pivotal listening experience for writers, artists and fans. Paul Simon s Graceland played a greatly significant role in removing the standoffish dread Western culture harbored toward South Africa during its internal struggle against apartheid, humanizing both a country s soul-searching hunger for liberation and its simultaneous outpouring of cathartic creative expression. Timothy White, Billboard
If there s an album easily pointed to as one that not only stood the test of time, but sounds fresher than ever, it would be Graceland. Repeated plays do not diminish the listening pleasure thank to the musical content and Roy Halee s superb engineering. - Michael Fremer
This lacquer cut processed and pressed at RTI on 180 gram vinyl sounds dramatically superior to the original in every way. The overall tonal balance is far superior. The low bass is as powerful as on the original but much better controlled. If the opening drum thwacks on Boy In the Bubble, don t sound deep, ultra-tight and tuneful, blame your system, not the record. You are guaranteed to hear heretofore hidden musical details and parts that on the original slipped through the musical cracks. - Michael Fremer, analogplanet. Music 10/10, Sound 10/10
... Q uiet-as-a-whisper LP... the tribal rhythms, percolating guitar lines, midrange thump of Baghiti Khumalo s fretless bass, and haunting vocal incantations of Ladysmith Black Mambazo are as fresh today as when first introduced to mainstream audiences. - Greg Cahill, The Absolute Sound, October 2012

PLUS BONUS CD BOX TO ROUND OUT THE COLLECTION - all five Simon Garfunkel studio albums- Wednesday Morning, 3 AM Sounds of Silence Parsley, Sage, Rosemary Thyme Bookends , and Bridge over Troubled Water - Bonus tracks, new remastering and graphics, the whole deal.
Though the American folk movement of the early 60s would influence bands like the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield and a score of oh-so-sensitive 70s singer-songwriters, its two most looming successes during the decade--Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel--couldn t have seemed more disparate. While Dylan turned hard-left, outraging many a folk purist by zealously embracing rootsy blues-rock and its electrified cacophony, SG veered toward the center, equally infuriating snooty pundits by embracing a Top 40 pop sense whose ostensible shallowness often belied its rich musical diversity. In retrospect, Simon and Garfunkel s career as a duo was remarkably brief five albums in six years , if no less commercially potent a slew of Top 40 singles, two Number One albums, and the requisite handful of Grammy Awards . This box set compiles digitally remastered versions of the original SG albums, each expanded to include bonus tracks mostly previously unissued demos with a few scattered outtakes, the quartet on Sounds of Silence the best of the lot and a booklet featuring new notes for each album and song lyrics. It s a rewarding journey, wending from the almost slavish folk devotion of Wednesday Morning 3 AM through the greeting-card iconoclasm of Sounds of Silence, the madrigal-pop of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme to the increasingly impressionistic lyrical landscape of Bookends. It also covers the rich musical tapestry of Bridge over Troubled Waters, which foreshadowed Simon s own diverse solo career by embracing everything from the Everlys and Jan Dean to Andean folk and RB
