Rupert and David (Rupert Hine) : The Sound of Silence / Reflections Of Our Love  UK, 1965 - 7" - Decca F 12306 - Advance test pressing - ultra rare test pressing of the Rupert Hine debut single from 1965 - personnel included a young Jimmy Page, Herbie Flowers on bass and a 26-piece orchestra - in the early sixties, Rupert and David used to perform in pubs and clubs where the then relatively unknown Paul Simon would also play. Both versions of 'The Sound Of Silence' were released in England at the same time. Neither of them sold more than 2,000 copies (Simon only later became famous with this song thanks to Dylan's producer Bob Johnstone who added electric guitars, bass and drums to the track) |
