Didn’t they do one back in the 60’s which had a newscast in back of it? Is it still available?

Thanks

Yes, it’s “Seven O’Clock News”/“Silent Night”. It’s on _The Definitive Simon and Garfunkel_, which I’m reasonable sure is still available, if you can’t find the original album.

I recall that track. It was “Silent Night” accompanied by an evening newscast. It was on an album entitled “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.”

Whether that album is still available, or whether you’ll have to find the track on a repackaged/compilation CD, I couldn’t tell you.

I have _Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme_. I got it for Xmas a couple of years ago, so it’s available.
