SIMON AND GARFUNKEL ~ BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER (40TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION) SONY 782829 (Barcode: 886978282927) ~ USA ~ Classic Pop Recorded: 1969 Released: 2011 There is really very little that needs to be said about this monumental Masterpiece, which in many respects is one of the most remarkable and enduring soundtracks of that era, which bloomed and exploded and was over in a blink of an eye, inspiring the entire human race for generations to come. Paul SimonFind albums by this artist´s brilliant songwriting, Art GarfunkelFind albums by this artist´s sublime voice and the duo´s perfect execution, with their heavenly vocal harmony and incredible sensitivity to both the music and the lyrics simply makes it all just click. This special edition brings us the remastered original album as well as an additional CD with live recording from the duo´s 1969 concert tour, which is breathtaking. And in addition the included DVD presents two documentaries: the superb "Songs Of America" from 1969, which was not available anywhere in the last 40 years as well as the new "The Harmony Game", which tells the story of making the album in 40 years retrospect. This is heaven on earth and such a kick! Beyond essential! Visitors' Comments Christopher  Brice This album was my amazed introduction to hi-fi stereo (instead of the leatherette-covered "portable" record player): Baby Driver certainly scared the cat dozing between the speakers! It´s great to have a high quality replacement for my aged LP and the live CD is a real bonus (I haven´t had time to pay attention to the DVD yet).
