"When I first heard about this LP being put together and
mentioned it to Scott he said "You really must congratulate whoever dug up these old
songs". This LP is bound to do well in Britain because everybody here is so fond of
antiques".
These songs were recorded as 'demos' in the year 1959 when Scott was in California. This type of work was his main source of income and he was working his way through school at the time.
One of the songs, "Sing boy sing", was recorded by Tommy Sands after hearing Scott's 'demo' and it became a big hit in America.
Scott says he's not particularly proud of these numbers now that we're in 1968, but of course they are of some value as collectors' items and because they do genuinely reflect the youthful effort which he put into his musical work in those days".
Jeffrey S. Kruger Managing Director, Ember Records
Scott Walker has risen from the ranks of his early apprenticship to the height of fame which he richly deserves.
He has endeared himself to the hearts of the public on both sides of the water and because this album does genuinely reflect his early days this LP will be of great historic value as a "Collectors" item and will be kept as a treasure by all Scott Walker fans.
We accept Scott's congratulations as having 'dug up' these old songs and we feel certain, that you, the public will enjoy these 14 items.
