All Music Review by Richie Unterberger
Scott Walker's final British Top Ten album was the first to be dominated by his own songwriting.
Ten of the 13 tunes on this 1969 LP are originals; the remaining three, naturally, were written by one of his chief inspirations, Jacques Brel.
There are some interesting moments here. "Big Louise" talks about a hefty prostitute with shocking explicitness for a pop star album of the era.
"Copenhagen" (like much of Walker's '60s work) foreshadows David Bowie. "Funeral Tango" is a particularly vicious Brel song.
"30 Century Man" is an uncommonly folkish and focused tune for Walker. "We Came Through" is an oddball cavalry charge featuring one of his occasional forays into Ennio Morricone spaghetti Western-like production.
The tension between Walker's dense, foreboding lyrics and orchestral production is unusual, to say the least. But too often, it's too difficult to penetrate Walker's insights through Wally Scott's string-drenched production.
It shrouds the lyrics in a fog that's often too syrupy to justify the effort needed to fight through it

April 2017, ROYAL MAIL ANNUAL UK POSTAGE PRICES: (some slight changes)
Those who have bought off me before know that I do not add on any extras.
My prices are based on carefully averaged parcel weights because I use strong recycled cardboard.
LP weights & covers vary considerably, (it is rare that any two parcels are exactly the same weight)
BUYING MORE THAN ONE ITEM:
If you buy more than one item ebay will not automatically calculate the postage savings for combined parcels:
i.e., it costs the same to post 1, 2, or 3 singles to UK, Europe or ROW & 1, 2 or 3 LPs to UK, (see full chart below)
Please email to let me know after an item has finished if you plan to bid on subsequent items - then again when you’re ready for your Invoice, email to let me know & I can then adjust your postage savings. THANK YOU
PLEASE NOTE: I NEVER USE ‘MAILERS’:
I MAKE VERY STRONG PARCELS USING RECYCLED CARDBOARD IN ORDER TO GIVE MAXIMUM PROTECTION IN TRANSIT
