Description
Art Garfunkel watermark MINT WITHDRAWN ORIG DUTCH LP w/ fingerpaint Up for auction is a Dutch pressing of Art Garfunkel’s 1977 LP Watermark, released –and hastily withdrawn- by CBS, cat no CBS 86032. I’m not completely sure of the chain of events surrounding this album, but this is how I think it goes: Art recorded an LP comprised entirely of peerless Jimmy Webb compositions (a cover of She Moved Through The Fair aside) & arrangements, and issued Crying In My Sleep as the lead 45 from the then-forthcoming LP. When this didn’t receive the success it deserved, he decided to re-think the project, and hastily recorded a cover of (What A) Wonderful World with James Taylor & Paul Simon. This was issued as the hit follow-up to Crying..., and was added to the running order of the LP, unnecessarily removing one of the stand-out cuts on the LP – Fingerpaint- in the process. But not before a few copies had escaped onto the market with the original line-up. Additionally, the cover design was adjusted, not only to accommodate the new title & performance credits, but also –in order to make the title & artist more noticeable in the racks- the lettering/logo was changed from grey to white. This original Dutch pressing has the withdrawn track line up & cover, and comes with the original lyric inner too! Fingerpaint has languished unreleased in the vaults ever since, and has yet to be issued in any form on CD; a sad state of affairs, as it is truly a career peak for both Art & Jimmy: a remarkable song, brilliantly sung.
COVER: VG, top seam has a split RECORD: EX to NM Printed lyrics inner sleeve is included.
