Simon & Garfunkel, Dave Grusin - The Graduate (Original Sound Track Recording) album flac

Simon & Garfunkel and Dave Grusin recorded a number of tracks for the movie soundtrack in 1967, but nothing coherent or useable. The Columbia Records Hollywood Crew were unable to assemble this material into a soundtrack album and the movie was about to be released. Columbia needed a soundtrack album fast. Columbia Records President called Jazz producer Teo Macero, who was not familiar with this project, into his office and told him that he had four days to assemble a soundtrack album for release with the movie.

Featuring Simon & Garfunkel’s studious folk and the easy listening of Dave Grusin, a new vinyl reissue attests that what makes a fascinating artifact does not always make for an especially good listen. Nichols used three songs as placeholders during production: The Sound of Silence, their biggest hit to date; Scarborough Fair/Canticle, their cover of a centuries-old ballad that subtly doubles as an anti-war anthem; and April Come She Will, a short, plaintive B-side about the changing of seasons and moods. Together, they form something like Benjamin’s internal monologue, the quiet space in his head where he retreats from the din of the adult world
