Sounds of Silence is an album by Simon and Garfunkel released January 17, 1966. It is commonly, and mistakenly, called "The Sound of Silence," which is actually the name of the title track.
The title song was released previously on the album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., and also on the soundtrack to the movie The Graduate. "Homeward Bound" was released on the album in the UK.
Recorded in December 1965 at CBS studios in Nashville, TN and Los Angeles, CA.
Produced by Bob Johnston, Columbia Records LP CL 2469 (mono); LP CS 9269 (stereo); CD CK 9269 (US: #21)
