ORIGINAL 1967 LP STILL SEALED
Smash Records - SRS 67099
*********************************************************
Scott Walker is the stage name of the American singer-songwriter Noel Scott Engel (born January 9, 1943 in Hamilton, Ohio), former lead singer with The Walker Brothers. He has been living in England since the 1960s, and continues to release new solo material. His earliest material was released under his own name in the late 1950s. His most successful period in his career was between the years 1965 and 1970 where in he released three albums with The Walker Brothers, before going on to record a number of popular albums as a solo artist.
" Scott" (released as " Aloner" in the US, on Smash Records) was released only six months after Walker's third album with The Walker Brothers, Images. Its mixture of Walker's original compositions and selection of cover versions established Walker as a more serious and sombre artist, gone were the Beat group and Blue-eyed soul material of his former group. The choice of material generally fell into four main categories, his own work (" Montague Terrace (In Blue)", " Such a Small Love", " Always Coming Back to You") , contemporary covers (" The Lady Came from Baltimore", " Angelica") , movie songs (" You're Gonna Hear From Me", " Through a Long and Sleepless Night") and significantly, English-translated versions of the songs of the Belgian musician and songwriter Jacques Brel (" Mathilde", " My Death", " Amsterdam") . Brel was a major influence on Walker's own compositions, and Walker included Brel material on his first three solo albums. Walker described Brel without qualification as 'the most significant singer-songwriter in the world'. The real coup for Walker was his luck in acquiring and recording the new Mort Shuman-translated versions of Brel's material before anyone else.*********************************************************
Original 1967 1st pressing on Smash Records. Not a re-issue, No barcode. This LP is STILL SEALED in it's original shrinkwrap. There is a punch hole in the upper right corner. A piece of the shrink is missing (in the same corner), probably from a "price sticker" removal. The corners are sharp, the shrink is tight, and there is no wear. This record looks absolutely beautiful!!! LP is in nearly MINT condition.
