    It's very apparent that great care and effort was taken when making this box set. Every track is important and the sound is outstanding. I wish I would have held out to buy this now instead of the day it came out because it's really come down in price. Well worth the $$$.

        I recently ordered a copy of 'Old Friends', hoping to receive the 'long box' release. Initially, what I received was a single disc and credited to 'sinon & garfunkel' !!. A day later a second CD arrived, again credited to 'sinon & garfunkel. Both are housed in individual standard jewel cases. The front insert to both is printed with an image on the front and track listing on the reverse. The centre spread is blank. CD 1 is over printed in red with silver lettering and CD #2 is over printed in lime green with silver lettering. Both carry the 'COLUMBIA' and "360 sound" STEREO lettering. Disc #1 shows A-S-20-1, also what appears to be ISRCCN-G13-98-348-00/A.J6. CD #2 display a slight variation : A-S-20-2, below that is printed ISRCCN-G13-98-349-00/A.J6. On the front of each insert there is a square box with lettering in either Japanese or Chinese (which I assume repeats the English credits and title of 'old friends' 'sinon & garfunkel'). As yet, CD #3 has not arrived but I curious to see if anyone else owns or has seen these releases and has any information on them. Thanks very much. Unfortunately I don't seem able to load any photos.

          One of the most impeccably mastered recordings in history. Sound quality is phenomenal. Long live the well mastered CD!
