Concept album, career-defining moment, industry-defying creation, years-long pursuit of perfection: all of these descriptions apply to “Bookends” by Simon & Garfunkel, and much more besides. At once a defining statement of the late 1960s and an outstanding reflection on relationships, identity, society, and mortality, the album’s enduring relevance underscores its exceptional value. This 1968 work is described by numerous sources as one of the greatest records of all time and transcends styles, trends, and generations.

Mastered on the renowned MoFi system in the label’s California studios and presented in a mini-LP sleeve, Mobile Fidelity delivers the duo’s timeless work in outstanding sound quality. The numbered hybrid SACD highlights the brilliance of the extensive recording sessions, which took place over a period of 18 months at Columbia’s legendary 52nd Street Studio.
