In a 1984 biography, Art Garfunkel is quoted as saying this about the recording of "The Only Living Boy In New York" - "It's us around eight times screaming, and we mixed it down very softly...I started getting into open-mouth harmony, in a very loud, strident way. We were screaming at the top of our lungs and inside an echo chamber. I remember that day that Dylan dropped by to visit. We came out of the booth after all this screaming, and there he was. Anyway, we got a very foreign sound."
