Description
Paul Simon has hand signed this copy of the Simon and Garfunkel LP “Sounds Of Silence” on the front cover in black ink. Sounds of Silence is the second album by Simon and Garfunkel, released on January 17, 1966. The album’s title is a slight modification of the title of the duo’s first major hit, “The Sound of Silence”, which originally was released as “The Sounds of Silence”. The song had earlier been released in an acoustic version on the album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., and later on the soundtrack to the movie The Graduate. Without the knowledge of Simon and Garfunkel, electric instruments and drums were overdubbed by Bob Dylan’s studio band on June 15, 1965. This new version was released as a single in September 1965, and opens the album.
