Concept album, career-making moment, industry-defying creation, years-long pursuit of perfection: Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Bookends’ adheres to all those descriptions and more, the record at once a defining statement of the late 1960s and salient reflection on relationships, identity, society, and mortality whose enduring relevance attests to its exceptional merit. Ranked by countless sources as one of the greatest records of all time, the 1968 work transcends styles, trends, and generations.

Mastered on MoFi’s renowned system at the label’s California studio, housed in a Stoughton jacket, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 4,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity’s 180g SuperVinyl 33RPM LP of ‘Bookends’ presents the duo’s timeless effort in reference-quality sound. Benefitting from the inherent properties of the SuperVinyl formula — a nearly inaudible noise floor, superb groove definition, dead-quiet surfaces — this collectible reissue magnifies the brilliance of the extended production sessions that took place over the course of 18 months at Columbia’s iconic 52nd Street Studio.
