Taken from the LP ‘Strings For Pleasure Play Simon & Garfunkel′ | (Music For Pleasure MFP 1403) 1970

During the last few years Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel have established themselves as remarkable musicians. They have frequently appeared high in our charts with such hits as ‘Homeward Bound’, ‘I Am A Rock’ and `Scarborough Fair’.

Since the tremendous success of The Graduate for which they sang the celebrated tune ‘Mrs. Robinson’, and various other melodies including ‘The Sound of Silence’, their recordings have been still more in demand.

Their most recent hit record was ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ which topped our charts for several weeks. Julie Felix had great success with ‘El Conda Pasa’ which appeared as one of the tracks on Simon and Garfunkel’s LP `Bridge Over Troubled Water’.

Simon & Garfunkel | Cover Version | “At The Zoo”

We have collected these well known melodies together with others from Simon and Garfunkel’s repertoire and they are played magnificently by excellent musicians.

Tastefully arranged by Victor Graham, the tunes of this popular duo lend themselves so well to the sound of strings creating what is surely a most pleasant and interesting recording.

The complete satisfaction that can be gained from listening to this record is indeed proof in itself that the melodies and strings blend in a way so complete as to make this an album ideal for any occasion.

The orchestra, drawn from a wide range of musical talent and experience, combines on this record producing a new and exciting sound which explores each melody to its best advantage.

Rich and fulfilling, it has been designed for you to enjoy, so sit back and relax to the sound of Strings for Pleasure. (Verity Stevens)
