Best scott walker songs6/11/2023 The dozen songs on Scott Sings Songs from His TV Series are all covers of popular standards, not taken from actual performances he did on the set of his six-episode BBC television series in early 1969, but from studio recordings of some (and by no means all) of the tunes he was seen performing on those programs. If so, it's understandable to some degree, as it's not all that representative of what he was usually recording at the time, and certainly not his best work of the period. Considering that all of his other early solo albums have made it onto CD, one suspects that Walker himself might be reluctant to have it re-released if he has any vote in the matter. It remains all but unheard, in fact, in the U.S., where it wasn't issued. Top Ten at a time when Scott Walker's British solo stardom was at its peak, it's surprising that, as of this writing, it has yet to be reissued on CD, though a few tracks do appear on the 2005 compilation Classics & Collectibles.
