Simon & Garfunkel Bookends - MOFI Supervinyl vs Original "Two Eye" Promo

Simon & Garfunkel Bookends was recently reissued by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab in a Limited Edition Supervinyl pressing mastered by Krieg Wunderlich and Shawn Britton. Bookends is sourced from a DSD capture of a copy of the original master tape. I was able to borrow a copy to hear for myself how the new edition stacks up to the very finest original pressing, a first press "two eye" label copy marked "Demonstration - Not For Sale" Simon & Garfunkel Bookends was their fourth studio album, which reached number one, and yielded two of their biggest hits, America and Mrs Robinson. Join me as I take you through this magical album and find out how well the MOFI compares with this beautiful original pressing. Run out inscription indicates a 1G/1H pressing, plant is as yet undetermined. Simon & Garfunkel Bookends Supervinyl Edition is a numbered limited edition of 4,000 copies, and is pressed on 180gm Supervinyl. It is available from Mobile Fidelity, as well as Music Direct and other fine audiophile retailers. 00:00 Introduction 00:57 Reference System 01:58 Columbia Two Eye Promo 02:32 A Bit Of History 03:20 Song By Song Observations 12:02 The MFSL Supervinyl 13:40 Conclusion If you particularly enjoyed this video, please consider a small one time donation to the channel!
