Description: 17 song compilation of Scott Walker music circa 1967 to 1970, a period rich with intensity, psychodrama, humor, and beauty. It's pretty staggering to listen to so many wonderful songs & enthralling vocal performances, if this were coffee it would be strong espresso. It's also amazing to think it all was recorded within three years. More about it in the little review below, song list is also below. Booklet includes photos and an essay. Enjoy! more about it (and a song list) Scott Walker was born Noel Engel in Ohio more than 50 years ago, moved to England in 1965, and scored a series of pop hits there--initially as a member of the Walker Brothers, a duo in which neither member was named Walker, nor were they siblings. From 1967 onward, he worked solo. Walker charted only once in his homeland, but he connected regularly in England between '65 and '69 with rueful, heavily-orchestrated pop statements that sounded like Engelbert Humperdinck crossed with Louis-Ferdinand Celine. This overview features 17 flamboyant psychodramas. Walker's work faded into the ether for a couple of decades following their release (at least where Americans were concerned), only to catch on with a morose brood that includes Mark Eitzel, Nick Cave, Marc Almond, and Eric Matthews. The likes of "The Old Man's Back (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime)" may take some getting used to, but, at a minimum, one must pay heed to a deadpan socialist teen idol who hosted his own variety show. --Steven Stolder 1 Big Louise2 Jackie3 The World's Strongest Man4 It's Raining Today5 Montague Terrace (In Blue)6 Through A Long And Sleepless Night7 Next8 The Seventh Seal9 Plastic Palace People10 Rosemary11 The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated To The Neo-Stalinist Regime)12 Joe13 Lights Of Cincinnati14 Cowbells Shakin'15 Thanks For Chicago Mr. James16 Little Things (That Keep Us Together)17 Joanna
