The liner notes pioneering writer Ralph J. Gleason penned for the back cover of Simon and Garfunkel's Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme ring as true now as they did upon the record's original release in 1966

He mused: "Today's popular music is in good shape indeed - at least the portion of it represented by this album

It has strength and it has beauty, it has lyricism, meaning and, above all, that quality of broad appeal which still retains form

And its music speaks for more than the moment

The songs in this album are songs for all time

" Indeed, they are, and they can now be experienced in the highest fidelity they've ever enjoyed

The first Simon and Garfunkel set captured on an eight-track recorder, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme here bursts with colors crucial to the scope of the songs

Separation between vocals and guitars, images of individual players, and the dimensions of the wide-spanning soundstages all flourish

Harmonies crest and seemingly float on bypassing clouds

Acoustic passages blossom with lifelike structure and tone

The intent of deliberate euphonic variations - like those between the pair's singing and Charlie O'Donnell's spoken news report on the closing "7 O'Clock News/Silent Night," which function as both poetic and social commentary - is made clearer by way of the reference-caliber transparency
