Tracks like "The Plague" (the B-side to "Jackie") and "Joanna" are essential "hidden" gems in his catalog. 3. The Avant-Garde Transformation (1978–2018)
The last album of this era to feature original songs on "Side A".
Features definitive readings of Jacques Brel songs like "Mathilde" and "My Death" alongside his own original, "Montague Terrace (In Blue)".
Following his departure from the Walker Brothers , Scott Walker released a run of four self-titled albums that remain benchmarks of baroque pop. These records balanced contemporary covers with his own increasingly dark and cinematic original compositions.
His first album consisting entirely of original material. Though it originally flopped (released under his birth name, Scott Engel), it is now considered his masterpiece. 2. The "Lost Years" & Rarities (1970–1974)
Albums like The Moviegoer (1972), Any Day Now (1973), and Stretch (1973) are often the primary targets for "RAR" searchers as they are excluded from many standard box sets.
