Originally released in 1967, SCOTT is the debut record by rock & roll musician, Scott Walker.
Following the dissolution of the Walker Brothers in 1967, Scott Walker (born Noel Scott Engel) embarked on an adventurous solo career, steering the dramatic pop sensibility of his former group into darker, stranger waters. On this debut, the American-born/British-based crooner assertively stakes out his territory as one of the preeminent interpreters of Jacques Brel (as translated by Mort Shuman) by offering up three of the often macabre French songwriter's compositions--the galloping "Mathilde," the gloriously melancholy "My Death," and the gloomy "Amsterdam."
Even more notable, however, are Walker's original numbers, particularly "Montague Terrace (In Blue)" and "Such a Small Love," which pull listeners in with delicate intros, only to dive headlong into bombastic orchestral passages that, remarkably, are kept in check by Walker's bold baritone voice and emotive lyrics. Although the singer's enigmatic aesthetic isn't for everyone, those who fall under his spell are strongly affected, as revealed in the work of admiring artists such as David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, Nick Cave, and Pulp's Jarvis Cocker. While BOY CHILD is the best introduction to the fascinating performer, this is the ideal point of departure for delving further into Walker's early--and most influential--material.
24bit HDCD digitally remastered edition of Walker's first solo album, originally released in September 1967, reaching a peak of #3 on the UK pop charts. Three of the songs were written by Walker himself along with material from Jacques Brel, Dory Previn, Tim Hardin, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weill and others. This edition includes additional photos supplied by the Antar Archive. The disc itself is a picture disc, replicating the look of a vinyl album.

$10.64  The Flairs, who hail from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, are a standard guitar/bass/drums pop-punk quartet that writes and performs quick-tempo, guitar-driven rock tunes. In their publicity materials, they make a point of citing their affection for the Ramones, but on their debut full-length, Shut Up and Drive, they cover Skid Row's "18 & Life," which is perhaps more indicative of their sound. Of course, '70s punk rock and '80s hair metal were never really that far apart musically; it was more a matter of attitude (and wardrobe). Singer Dawn Mandarino presents lyrics that focus primarily on romantic scorn, which fits with the aggressive music. But she never loses her sense of melody, and the music, while propulsive, never gets really wild. That's the mark of pop-punk, and the Flairs do it quite well. ~ William Ruhlmann
The Flairs are a 21st century band ready to take the world by storm with their catchy, hook-laden rock songs harkening back to the days of '80's hard rock and punk, seasoned with a whole-lotta attitude! Vancouver based band, The Flairs, created quite the buzz with their 2004 debut EP, described as being a magical blend of youthful spirit and undeniable talent by a group determined to unleash their vision on an unsuspecting public. Those starving for real living, breathing punk-coloured hard rock with smart pop sensibilities will eat this up for any meal. The Flairs are on a kick ass mission to rock out even harder with their new full length CD, 'Shut Up and Drive.' The first single and video was a spin on Skid Row's "18 & Life", which received airplay on rock radio stations across North America as well as rotation ...
