Simon & Garfunkel - Gold Disc - Japanese Vintage Vinyl
This Simon & Garfunkel collection comes from CBS/Sony's Gold Disc series, a line of Japan-only compilations that gathered an artist's essential songs onto a single LP. Released in 1978, it packs fourteen of the duo's best-loved recordings into one beautifully sequenced listen.
The first half opens with "The Sounds Of Silence" and "Mrs. Robinson", then moves through the gentle "April Come She Will", the defiant "I Am A Rock" and the joyful rhythm of "Cecilia". The second half begins with the soaring "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and continues with "Scarborough Fair / Canticle", "Homeward Bound", "The Boxer" and the closing road-trip poem "America". Paul Simon's songwriting and those close harmonies have rarely been gathered so neatly.
This is the Japanese edition, catalogue 26AP 1301, manufactured by CBS/Sony. Japanese pressings of the era are known for clean, quiet vinyl, which flatters the duo's delicate acoustic arrangements.
An easy place to start, or a lovely companion to the studio albums.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
Hold up… what were we saying?
