Haven’t got any of the original Scott Walker LP’s, only that record store day “boy child” compilation on white vinyl! Did once find the debut you have here, but if I remember it had a few small deep scratches on it, so I left it cos they wanted £16 quid and I knew it would click like hell! But since then these have shot up in value, probably because of you tube uploaders recommending Scott Walker to everyone! Thanks!!!!
Great video. Mine's an original mono pressing I bought last year from a charity shop for £6. The record looked to be unmarked but very dusty and the sleeve in VG+. When I'd cleaned it it sounded fantastic, even for the less desirable mono version and I'm on the lookout for more of his now, having only got them on CD.
If you can get hold of a copy of the mono editions of Scott 1 & 2 they're worth a listen. Are you sure Scott 3 was reissued as an Abbey Road 1/2 speed remaster? I have Scott 4 in that format, but wasn't aware of it's predecessor also getting that treatment.
