Simon & Garfunkel chronology

The Graduate was an album of songs from the soundtrack of Mike Nichols' movie The Graduate, featuring many songs from the folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel. Released on January 21, 1968, the album was produced by Teo Macero. (See: 1968 in music) Columbia Records LP OS 3180; CD CK 3180.

Although the album features two versions of the acclaimed Mrs. Robinson; neither is the full version as featured on Bookends. The first is an instrumental, while the second is abbreviated, tapering off as it does in the film. However, the other major song of the film, The Sounds of Silence is used three times in the film.
