Scott Walker's Masterpiece | The Untold Genius of Scott 4 (1969)

Although largely unknown in his native America, Scott Walker enjoyed huge success in the UK in the mid-60s with his group The Walker Brothers. He then consolidate that success with his own BBC TV show and a string of four outstanding solo albums from 1967-1969. Described by many as his finest work, Scott 4 was never released in the U.S. and was a flop when it was released in the UK in November 1969. However, it went on to influence generations of musicians and songwriters and is one of my favourite albums of all time. 0:00 - Introduction 1:10 - My discovery of his music in the early 1990s 4:26 - 1969, a busy year for Scott 5:42 - Scott's first album as a producer, Ray Warleigh. 6:17 - Managerial conflict 6:48 - Recording Scott 4 7:36 - Scott 4 track-by-track 16:04 - Failure hurts Scott 16:54 - Scott 4 buyer's & pressing guide 18:25 - Validation for Scott 19:32 - The last word YouTube links Listen to Scott 4 in full:    • Scott Walker - Scott 4 (Full Album)   The Sound of Dave Richmond ​@MuckLuto:    • Scott Walker - The Old Man's Back Again as...   Dion - Purple Haze:    • Purple Haze   Dion - Abraham Martin & John (full album):    • Dion   Amazon links (not sponsored): Boy Child compilation: https://www.amazon.com/Boy-Child-67-7...
