Description

I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE RAREST PIECE OF WALKER VINYL EVER TO BE SOLD ON EBAY.

IT IS TOTALLY A "ONE OFF" AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFFERED FOR SALE BEFORE.

IT WAS GIVEN TO ME CIRCA 66 /67 FROM AN ASSOCIATE WHO WORKED FOR PHILLIPS RECORDS (LONDON OFFICE)

APPARENTLY THIS ALBUM WAS PUT FORWARD FOR POSSIBLE RELEASE PRIOR TO THE "PORTRAIT" ALBUM.

THE RECORD COMPANY BEING KEEN TO PUSH SCOTT WALKER INTO THE FOREFRONT, HENCE THE TITLE "WALKER BROTHERS, FEATURING SCOTT WALKER"

HOWEVER, DUE TO VARIOUS LEGAL PROBLEMS THE PROJECT WAS SHELVED AND HAS NEVER BEEN ISSUED IN ANY FORMAT.

MANY OF THE TRACKS ON THIS ALBUM ENDED UP AS A RELEASED "PORTRAIT" ALBUM.

HOWEVER, THE TRACKS ON THIS RED VINYL PROMO DO DIFFER.

WHY RED VINYL?

NEITHER MY CONTACT AT PHILLIPS IN THE 60's OR ANY AMOUNT OF INVESTIGATION HAS FOUND THE REASON.
HOWEVER, IT IS THOUGHT THAT BACK IN THE 60's PRE INTERNET ETC.THIS PROJECT WAS HANDED TO THE JAPANESE ARM OF PHILLIPS AS IT WAS A RELEASE THEY WERE TRYING TO GET READY FOR THE UK MARKET WITHOUT UPSETTING EITHER SCOTT OR JOHN.

THIS DOES MAKE SENSE AS RED VINYL WAS WIDELY USED IN JAPAN IN THE 60'S.

SO PRESUMABLY, ONCE THIS ISSUE WAS SHELVED, ALL THAT OCCURRED WAS "PORTRAITS" BECAME "PORTRAIT"  SOME TRACKS WERE TAKEN OUT AND PORTRAIT WAS RELEASED.

THE CONDITION OF THIS IS JUST SUPERB, THE RED VINYL IS TOTALLY MINT.

DUE TO IT'S AGE, THE PAPER LABEL DOES HAVE SOME AGE SPOTS (SEE PIC)

I WILL BE OPEN TO A BUY IT NOW OFFER.
