Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing including digital download. “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme” is the third studio album by Simon & Garfunkel. Produced by Bob Johnston, the album was released on October 24, 1966, in the United States by Columbia Records. Following the success of their debut single “The Sound of Silence,” Simon & Garfunkel regrouped after a time apart while Columbia issued their second album, “Sounds of Silence.” For their third album, the duo spent almost three months in the studio, extending a perfectionist nature both in terms of instrumentation and production. The album largely consists of acoustic pieces written during Paul Simon’s period in England the previous year, including some recycled numbers from his debut solo record, “The Paul Simon Songbook.” The album includes the Garfunkel-led piece “For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her,” as well as “7 O’Clock News/Silent Night,” a combination of news reports of the day (the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, the death of comedian Lenny Bruce), and the Christmas carol “Silent Night.”
