Scott 3 = スコット３ – Scott Walker = スコット・ウォーカー* – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Scott Walker’s ‘Scott 3’ stands as a quietly radical testament to late 1960s pop—an album where orchestral grandeur and lyrical introspection intertwine. Here, Walker moves further from his earlier Walker Brothers fame, crafting a sound that’s lush yet solitary, poetic yet daring. The record’s arrangements, full of sweeping strings and subtle brass, serve as the perfect backdrop for Walker’s enigmatic baritone, which delivers every line with an almost cinematic gravity.

Unlike his previous work, ‘Scott 3’ leans heavily on Walker’s own songwriting, drawing listeners into a world of existential longing and bittersweet nostalgia. Tracks like “It’s Raining Today” and “Big Louise” are deeply immersive, revealing new layers with each listen. The album’s European influences—Jacques Brel’s shadow looms large, both in spirit and in a handful of covers—add a sense of sophistication that sets ‘Scott 3’ apart from its contemporaries.

For vinyl enthusiasts and adventurous pop listeners alike, this album is more than a collection of songs; it’s a cohesive work of art, a singular vision from one of pop’s most enigmatic figures. Owning ‘Scott 3’ is owning a piece of pop history, unafraid to be vulnerable, imaginative, and beautifully strange.
