Notes


Alternate Bookends (v.1.5!)

Source: Studio/Soundboard
a Purple Chick production


This disc was a revelation when it appeared a few years ago. This was the first time Simon and Garfunkel studio outtakes had appeared in anything like this quality. Not only is the sound top notch but the contents were a revelation. At The Zoo has a set of completely different lyrics. Groundhog was never released by Simon and Garfunkel in any form.


The live tracks are dispensible, but cute. At The Zoo was previously unbootlegged.
