Performer Notes

Includes liner notes by Marc Almond.
BOY CHILD collects early work from Scott Walker, the French influenced singer of dark-themed folk music. This anthology of 19 tracks includes the staples "It's Raining Today" and "Copenhagen."
Personnel: Scott Walker (vocals).
Audio Remasterer: Simon Heyworth.
Liner Note Author: Marc Almond.
The place to start for Scott Walker originals, BOY CHILD presents 20 self-penned tunes by the U.S.-born/U.K.-based avant-pop hero. By sidestepping Walker's frequent Jacques Brel covers (which are handily collected on SINGS JACQUES BREL), this well-selected anthology features an excellent sampling of the crooner's finest compositions from 1967's SCOTT 1 to '70's TIL THE BAND COMES IN. Among the many astounding songs are the exquisitely grand "Montague Terrace (In Blue)," the gorgeously glum "It's Raining Today," and "Time Operator," a jazzy number that explores the subtler side of the performer's signature chamber-pop sound. With other compilations surveying his more accessible material with the Walker Brothers, BOY CHILD is the ideal introduction to Walker's fascinating solo work, which strongly influenced a legion of followers, including David Bowie, Morrissey, Pulp, and the Divine Comedy.

Professional Reviews

Q (9/00, p.131) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...Those only in the market for one volume should consider [this] compilation essential. A record collection without Scott Walker is like one without The Beatles, The Clash or The Smiths - incomplete."

Mojo (Publisher) (8/00, p.97) - "...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....an excellent sampler..."
