Another Japanese release....1966


CBS SONY released the single 'The sound of silence' b/w 'We've got a groovey thing goin' in January 1966. Catalogue number LL-864-C. Japanese releases are always very nicely packed, with beautiful covers, pictures, lyrics.
For this release they also included an English version of what they thought might be correct.....

The 4th verse goes:

"Fools say I did do not know
Silence is like a catch of gold
Hear my words and my, I'll teach you
Take my arms and mine'll reach you
Put my words like, "Silent raindrops fell"
Echo a welds of silence.

The 5th starts with:

'And when people doubt the things
To the neon got they may
And side by side it's morning......

The same goes for the flip-side:

'Bad throughs, bad throughs,
I heard you jacking to leave

Unfortunately I cannot read the added Japanese translation, wonder what became of the lyric there.
