SIMON / GARFUNKEL - GRADUATE - O.S.T. Vinyl LP

Expected: 9/4/26

The soundtrack to Mike Nichols' 1967 masterpiece, The Graduate, alternates between Paul Simon's songs and pieces of Dave Grusin's deliberately naff Swingin' Sixties score. All of the former, with the exception of "Mrs. Robinson" and a negligible solo acoustic guitar rendition of "Scarborough Fair/Canticle," are available on Simon and Garfunkel's earlier albums. Similar to Nelson Riddle's self-parodic work on Stanley Kubrick's Lolita, Grusin's instrumentals have a satiric edge that comments on the film's action.

"Packaged with Speakers Corner's usual attention to authenticity and quality, the sound is vintage analog, dynamically lively with a wonderful sense of depth to the band orchestrations." - Neil Gader,  The Absolute Sound , March 2008
