Back in 1975 when first released, Simon's fourth album sans Garfunkel proved an immediate favourite with the hi-fi crowd thanks to sound quality at an exceptional level. What could the One-Step process add to it? Standard pressings were excellent, but this lowers the noise floor so much that even open-reel fetishists have to sit up and take notice. The detail retrieval is breathtaking, the utter naturalness of the vocals transcendent. If you adored the SACD [HFN Sep '21], as did I, this will render you near-delirious, especially the reach of the bottom octaves. The title track, 'My Little Town', '50 Ways To Leave Your Lover' as you have never heard it before... A masterpiece made even more majestic.
