Best vinyl version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water"

The Classic 45 RPM version is SUPERB, but sadly, long out of print. If you can find it, buy it.

An interesting question. I've got several vinyl versions and, no matter what TT I use (I've had too many), I cannot make this LP sound good. I've given up. Just dig the music.

The original Columbia pressing itself is somewhat inconsistent. There are some relatively good sounding cuts such as "Cecilia", "El Condor Pasa", and "The Only Living Boy in NYC". Conversely, there are some dogs such as "The Boxer", "Bridge", and "Keep the Customer Satisfied" which are lean and compressed.

I doubt any of the reissues are better.

FWIW, the original pressing of their best album, "Bookends", is spectacular. Makes you wonder what Paul Simon and Ray Halee were smoking during "Bridge".

the latest cd's from sony are superior to both the classic records re-issues.....here's hoping someone will do new vinyl, and hopefully do bookends too......the japanese mini lp cd's are cool too.
