About This Product
This is a limited 2018 reissue vinyl LP pressing of Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel. The iconic American music duo originally released their fourth studio album on April 3, 1968, through Columbia Records. Bookends is a concept album that explores a life journey from childhood to old age. Side one of the album marks successive stages in life, the theme serving as bookends to the life cycle. Side two largely consists of unused material for The Graduate soundtrack. Simon's lyrics concern youth, disillusionment, relationships, old age, and mortality.
Produced by Paul Simon, Roy Halee and Art Garfunkel, much of the material was crafted alongside producer John Simon (no relation), who joined the recording when Paul Simon suffered from writer's block. The album was recorded gradually over the period of a year, with production speeding up around the later months of 1967.
Initial sales for Bookends were substantial in the US, and the album produced the number-one single "Mrs Robinson" and became the first rock and roll song to win Record of the Year at the 11th Annual Grammy Awards in 1969; it was also afforded the honour of Best Contemporary Pop Performance by a Duo or Group. The album sold well in the US and in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number one.
