SCOTT WALKER Tilt 1995 LIMITED EDITION FIRST PRESS #678 w/INNER 1/2 PLAYS EX+
SCOTT WALKERTilt
1995 FONTANA (526 859-1) NUMBERED (#0678) LIMITED ISSUE
LOVELY COPY - SEEN JUST ONE OR TWO SPINS AND PLAYS LIKE-NEW
Tilt was Scott Walker's first album following over a decade of silence, and whatever else he may have done during his exile, brightening his musical horizon was not on the agenda.
Indescribably barren and unutterably bleak, Tilt opens with "Farmer in the City", a cinematic sweep of unrelenting gothic melodrama.
At the time of its release, reviews were undecided whether to praise or pillory Walker for making an album so utterly divorced from even the outer limits of the commercial.
"The Cockfighter" is underpinned by an intensity that is almost industrial in its range and raucousness, while "Bouncer See Bouncer" would have quite a catchy chorus if anybody else had gotten their hands on it. Here, however, it is highlighted by an Eno-esque esotericism and the chatter of tiny locusts.
The crowning irony, however, is "The Patriot (A Single)," eight minutes of unrelenting funeral dirge over which Walker infuses even the most innocuous lyric ("I brought nylons from New York") with indescribable pain and suffering.
An absolute MASTERPIECE

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Seen little play - both labels are unmarked - a couple of spindle traces only
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both vinyl surfaces shine like new - a few harmless brush marks from the inner
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
But as good as it gets as just like my own personal copy this one has the same light touch of surface in one or two spots and the odd one-off tick (my own copy played like this from new) but no other audible issues of any kind
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Apart from a touch of rub on the bottom edge the sleeve is crisp, clean and unmarked
INNNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Like-new - no seam splits
