Album Notes
Formerly a blue-eyed soul singer with the vocal trio the Walker Brothers, American expatriate Scott Walker settled in England in the late 1960s to create a series of increasingly idiosyncratic and cabaret-influenced jazzy pop albums, of which 1969's SCOTT 3 was one of the most popular, featuring "It's Raining Today" and "Copenhagen."
2000 remaster.
Ethereal, exceptional, beautifully orchestrated pop music from one of the late 20th century's most idiosyncratic artists, SCOTT 3 contains a series of lush, mesmerizing songs that typify the free-spirited, experimental late 1960s. Scott Walker also gives free rein to his more epic impulses on songs like the careening "We Came Through," a prime example of the kind of marvelously over-the-top pieces that made him a byword for eccentricity, while "30th Century Man" is almost the exact opposite, featuring only the mellow-voiced singer and an acoustic guitar. There's also an alternately tense and serene version of "If You Go Away" that marks the artist as one of Jacques Brel's finest English interpreters.
Industry Reviews
Ranked #16 in The NME Top 30 Heartbreak Albums - ...Rarely has existentialism sounded so empathetic. SCOTT 3 is truly depressed, deeply sad and utterly moving.
NME (08/12/2000)
...Resonates with the riches of the last great days of the pop narrative. The pop song rarely aspired to such literacy after this....forged in the white-hot glare of the pop process....[with] superb orchestrations...
Mojo (08/01/2000)
4 stars out of 5 - ...[The] gems proliferate....A record collection without Scott Walker is like one without The Beatles, The Clash or The Smiths - incomplete.
