By-passing the acoustic guitar on this occasion I recorded this slightly forgotten Simon and Garfunkel tune on my trusted Korg PA800 in two different versions. Kinda curious which version you think comes out best ?

John

Correction : "....It was co-written by Paul Simon (of Simon and Garfunkel) and Bruce Woodley (of The Seekers)....."

I liked them both, but B is a little better to me! I enjoy all your music and have booked it to my Keiths file! Thank you John

I like the A version....

I go with B.

Both good, 'B' better ... JMHO

Definitely "B." Much fuller sounding.

I like take B the best. The reggae rhythm drives the piece with more intensity and lays the tune back and makes the vocal flow better. There seems to be a bit more space in the tune as well. Take B also sounds less rushed. All these factors make the vocal story line much more understandable.

A very nice piece.

I wasnt talking sound...just sayin..

Version B definitely sounds more groovy to me as the style has more drive.
BTW, your Italian sounds incredibly good (your video from 1985 appeared on the right).

Hi There,

Keith, I am honoured.
Rosetree thank you for the compliment.( got hooked up with an Italian girlfriend in the seventies and though that did not last I picked up much of the lingo).
Thank you very much everyone for stating your preference. I guess I probably go for version B myself though the first version seems closer to the song as it was interpreted by most artists in the sixties. I am always working to (yet) another home-made CD and this is no exception. So far I have finished seven songs most of them in collaboration with Carlo. (see my youtube page). Hence my question as to which version I should include on the CD. On to the next recordings !

regards,
John
