Hi - I have only gotten Paul's autograph and this one looks ok to me. Dont know Art very well, but the Garfunkel looks similar to ones I have seen, Not too sure about the Art part of it.

I've gotten both Simon & Garfunkel in person, and while both these sigs are *close*, I don't believe this item is authentic. Something just seems off about them both. The Simon is the closest, but the Garfunkel is worse. I'd stay away.

I saw what appears to be the same item a week or so ago and studied the signatures compared to known authentic examples. I found, in my opinion, that they were not good.

Thanks for your opinions. I had a feeling about the Garfunkel, but Id like to know what is off about the Simon. The seller has another solo Simon LP and it is pretty similar. Ive seen rushed Simons and very neat every letter Simons when he is signing a book or selling something through his website. This would appear to be his street signature?

Paul's signature can vary a lot depending on the situation and his mood. This is the only record that I have been able to get signed by both. I met Paul one on one and he wanted to see what I wanted to have signed before he decided to sign for me. He actually signed 9 records after approving them.

Im no Simon and Garfunkel expert by any means but am a big fan and would love to have an authentic dual signed album. I also think in the future it would be a good investment. However I dont like this one, the A inside of Arts name and Paul looks very similiar as well as some loops M-N and L making me suspicious that it "might be the same signer.

The solo Paul Simon is definitely authentic. Bjarne, that dual signed piece is very nice. Here is a Bookends album I had signed in person by both for comparison also:
