WALKER SCOTT - VINYL SCOTT [VINYL]

Popis - SCOTT [VINYL]:
A 180-gram audiophile pressing, coming with an insert. One of the most enigmatic figures in pop music history, Scott Walker (name Scott Engel), first saw massive success in England with his band The Walker Brothers in 1965. Not really brothers, nor were they British, the trio left Hollywood to seek fame in England, and they found it there with their particular brand of orchestrated pop. Following the group's demise in 1967, Walker set our to pursue solo stardom in perhaps the most peculiar way possible, with over-the-top baroque pop songs owing more to his idol Jacques Brel, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra than they did to the Beatles or the Stones. This is a reissue of his first solo LP from 1967, featuring three of his own compositions along with covers of songs by Brel, Tim Hardin, and the Brill Building team of Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann. A truly original work by a unique artist. Side 1: 1 Mathilde 2 Montague Terrace (In Blue) 3 Angelica 4 The Lady Came From Baltimore 5 When Joanna Loved Me 6 My Death.
