A few years ago I was lucky enough to find original vinyl copies of Scott, Scott 2 and Scott 3 for 50p each at a local car boot sale. No Scott 4 unfortunately but hey not bad! The only downside to this pleasing purchase was the original owner had in true taken-to-the-school-disco style penned their name in biro on the sleeves. A minor quibble admittedly, especially as the music on all three discs remains so good.
With that in mind it's pleasing to hear that Universal are re-issuing Scott Walker's first five solo releases in a lovingly packaged box set. It's released on June 3rd. If you'd like to read the press release click over the jump.
