About The Record:

The title of Simon and Garfunkel's Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme comes from the second line of the album's first track, Scarborough Fair/Canticle, an English folk song from the 16th century, paired with a counter-melody and text about a soldier. It peaked on the U.S. charts at No. 4. Rolling Stone magazine co-founder Ralph Gleason provided the liner notes. Homeward Bound - appearing as the fourth song in the American version - was excluded from the album upon its release in the United Kingdom, since it had already appeared on the UK release of Sounds of Silence.
