I've never heard an issue, CD or LP, of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" that sounded particularly good. Always baffled me, since "Bookends" and "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, & Thyme" (earlier records) sounded so great. I noticed the same thing with The Who. "Tommy" is a better recording than anything that came after. "Face Dances" is actually on par with "Tommy" (although the music is not on par, but comparisons to "Tommy" aren't fair, even for The Who!).
Best vinyl version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
I have two copies of this Simon & Garfunkel album - one poorly cared-for copy from the 70's, and a brand new German pressing by Columbia/Legacy Euro. Neither of them sound particularly great. In particular, both suffer from audible distortion on the climactic passages at the end of the title track.
Can anyone recommend a particular pressing that sounds good? How about the Classic Records reissue?
Thanks,
Mika
