Synopsis

Album Description
A Double-disc 45 track compilation of some of Scott Walker's finest moments. Featuring over 20 tracks appearing on CD for the first time including a Previously Unreleased alternative vocal mix of the classic Walker Brothers hit, 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore'.T Scott Walker albums of this period marry classic pop craftsmanship and string-laden arrangements with lyrics about doomed love affairs, dreams dashed and lives left unfulfilled. As the public moved on to 1970s guitar rock, the ever-elusive Scott Walker slowly withdrew from public view, quietly battling depression and alcoholism out of the limelight. Universal. 2005.
 

CD Reviews

A welcome addition, but far from complete
It's Me, | Houston | 10/06/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)

"There are better Scott Walker collections on the market, but this one is unique in that the second disc has a lot of the tunes from his out-of-print albums "Sings Songs From His TV Series" and "The Moviegoer" and "Any Day Now." Nevermind that these are probably the low point of his recorded output, there are a few gems to be found. Still, it really would have been preferable to just have those three albums re-released on CD."
