Garfunkel, Art
Watermark
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1978 US Original Pressing In Textured Sleeve With Printed Card Inner Sleeve. Strong VG++ Copy. "The Original Idea Was For Art Garfunkel To Record An Album Of Songs Written By Jimmy Webb. But When The Leadoff Single, "Crying In My Sleep," Failed To Make The Charts, Columbia Records Withdrew The Album And Induced Garfunkel To Put Together A Cover Of Sam Cooke's "(What A) Wonderful World" With Paul Simon And James Taylor Harmonizing. The Single And A Revised Version Of The Album Then Made The Top 40. But Watermark Is Still A Garfunkel-sings-webb Album, Except For One Song. And The Initial Idea Was A Good One: Garfunkel Handles Webb's Wistful Pop Songs Well, And He Has Made Good Choices From Webb's Songbook, Dating Back To The '60s, Though Avoiding His Big Bits. The Result Is Garfunkel's Most Cohesive Solo Album." AMG - William Ruhlmann.
