Simon & Garfunkel's "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme" on MoFi Stereo SACD in 2018

[halbroome]

No, it was licensed and released on 45 rpm vinyl (2 box set). Not SACD.

Well, that sucks

? Why is no one else talking about this release?

On the second listen I clearly heard the Donovan influences . . . so now have Donovan STORYTELLER playing. Nice combo

This is an outstanding version....the best I've ever heard...excellent fidelity...

Which SACD? Donovan or Simon and Garfunkel?

I received this SACD today (Simon & Garfunkel) and wow...sounds amazing. I have an old vinyl, and this one simply smashes it in terms of fidelity and clarity.

Wow! One of MoFi's truly great SACD remasters. When Patterns played, I could feel the opening guitar 'attack' in my gut. Never experienced that before on Vinyl or RBCD. Worth the Wait. MoFi bring on MORE S&G remasters but still am anxiously awaiting BOTW in QUAD with the 'restored' cymbal crashes along with the 'rumored' QUAD remix of BOOKENDS!

It was not just their voices but the instrumentation that floored me. I was hearing things I never heard before. Yep it is the ultimate go to version

Oh, same here....and even at lower volumes.....I could hear some moderate bass notes. I guarantee I'd not heard that before on my vinyl copy.

Hi guys. I stumbled across this Forum whilst looking for a review of Parsley and Thyme SACD. Really pleased to read some good reviews as I've just received my copy. I'll be giving it it's first play later this evening on my Oppo PM1 headphones driven by a Lehmann Linear headphone amp. Looking forward to it. To give you an indication of my age I bought this record when it first came out on vinyl.

This is certainly a gem from MoFi. The soundstage is impressive and revealing, there is a richness to the instruments more associated with analogue than digital and I'm hearing detail that isn't there with a red book. I'm yet to listen on my main system, Rega Elicit R amp and KEF R300 speakers and this first session was confined to my Oppo PM1 headphones. If MoFi are to bring out more of the S&G albums it's something to really look forward to.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

When the opening guitar attack on "Patterns" hit me in the gut, I knew this SACD remaster was something VERY special.
