Simon & Garfunkel – Bridge Over Troubled Water (Vinyl LP, 1970, Columbia KCS 9914, US Stereo)

Why This Record Matters
Bridge Over Troubled Water is Simon & Garfunkel’s final studio album and includes “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Cecilia,” “The Boxer,” and “The Only Living Boy In New York.” Produced by Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, and Roy Halee, it remains one of the duo’s defining releases.

Collector Note
This 1970 US Columbia KCS 9914 stereo edition uses the red “360 Sound” Columbia label configuration and was mastered through Customatrix. The supplied Variant 2 stamped runouts, XSM150685-1BD C 3 and XSM150686-2BC, identify this specific matrix combination, with the XSM150685/XSM150686 numbers corresponding to the two sides of the original Columbia issue. Original US copies remain desirable, but this was also an exceptionally large-selling album and surviving copies are plentiful, making playback condition especially important to value.
