Parsley , Sage,Rosemary andThyme " is an album bySimon and Garfunkel , released in the United States onOctober 10 ,1966 . Its name comes from the second line of the album's first track, "Scarborough Fair /Canticle," an English folk song from the 16th century, paired with acounter-melody and text about a soldier. It peaked on the U.S. charts at #4. The album was produced byBob Johnston as Columbia Records LP CL 2563 (mono); CS 9363 (stereo); CD CK 9363; Remastered CD CK 66001. "Homeward Bound" was excluded from the album in the UK.The album can be seen as having a protest element in it: the closing song, "7 O'Clock News/Silent Night," contained clips of a news broadcast about the
Vietnam War . Based on the fact that the broadcast carries the news of the death of comedianLenny Bruce that day, it can be dated from3 August 1966 .RS500|201 [http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/6598872/201_parsley_sage_rosemary_and_thyme]
