Paul Simon – Hearts And Bones

Time has been kind to HEARTS AND BONES, it was something of a flop upon release, but 40 years later, it's generally regarded as one of his best, and certainly most personal, albums. "Cars Are Cars" might not be his finest hour, but everything else is top-tier, particularly "Train In The Distance", "Allergies", "The Late Great Johnny Ace", and the title track. To echo what others have said, this is an excellent sounding pressing across the board, with great dynamic range. My copy plays nice and clean with no noticeable surface noise.

This sounds magical! Original US Sterling plates and mastering. Silent vinyl. Warm like a blanket!

Very nice '83 release by Paul Simon, just before his massive comeback with Graceland.

Paul's brilliant writing is on full display here, with some catchy ditties and storytelling. Some gigantic guitar chops by Al Dimeola, perhaps overplaying, but familiar with Al, he was really holding back. Sidemen include Airto, Bernard E, Marcus M, Nile R, M Manieri, S McGinnis, S Gadd, the list goes on. When Paul makes the call, half of New York shows up for the session.

Nice mixing and pro mastering by Robert Ludwig. Great sounding pressing.

Recommended.

I can only echo what others have said-a truly great sounding record with great soundstaging and dynamics. One of Paul’s greatest records, IMO.

Hello. I would like to know:
What is the first american cd edition?
Very thanks.

Year is 1998 or earlier (brought mine from Amsterdam in the summer of 98)

I'm a huge fan of this album and have thought the Quiex pressing was the best. This Japanese pressing is a smidgen better in sound quality imo. Highly recommend getting this.

Like seajolly says, this is a dead quiet pressing. Really impressed with the sound quality and dynamics. This is really how all vinyl should be pressed. 10/10

This is a beautiful sounding pressing. Very quiet and crisp.

I purchased a copy of this lp when it came out as a gift to a relative. It was titled "Think Too Much". Don't know (it was 1983) if it was the same track listing. Again, the lp title was "Think Too Much". Apparently, Simon and Garfunkel were working on an lp with the same title.
