A remarkable album that grows to the 'can't get out of your head' stage !
Original 1967 British first pressing in clean condition...
Scott was the debut solo album by Scott Walker, released in the United Kingdom on Philips Records in 1967. The album reached the UK top 10.
In 1968, the album was released on Smash Records in the United States under the title Aloner.
After leaving The Walker Brothers to go solo, Scott Walker forged a critically acclaimed career on his distinctive sound of dramatically striking ballads over grand arrangements...
Listening to Scott Walker's first solo album more than three decades after its appearance is like entering a parallel universe. Those of us in America who know the Walker Brothers from pop hits like "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine" and "Make It Easy on Yourself" may be forgiven if we are late to appreciate the genius of their lead singer, born Scott Engel right here in Hamilton, Ohio. His first album was a big hit in England, but it never caught on Stateside. Revel in it now. Scott has often been named the definitive interpreter of Jacques Brel, and here he proves his mettle on classics such as "Mathilde," "My Death," and "Amsterdam." He hits the musical heights, without ever resorting to imitation or parody. And, if that weren't enough, he also writes--gorgeously. Consider the baroque architechtonics of what is arguably his masterpiece, "Montague Terrace," where grandeur and pathos blend in a seamless musical tapestry. Underscoring it all is Scott's voice, an exquisite instrument without equal in the pantheon of pop music. Like a reluctant Prometheus, he stands above us lesser mortals and bemoans the vanities that alienate us, one from the other, all in a brooding, perfectly modulated baritone. Consider the poignancy of these words from Scott's self-penned "Such a Small Love": "He speaks, I don't hear a word he's saying, / Hang on to the pine trees and the snow; / Reach out, grab the memories that are left for your hand, / They'll help you get by for a while." Take a trip back in time and enter this parallel world. Your ears will thank you.
