And according to this there will be a music video soon!!

Bish Bosch is one hell of a title, almost too perfect a summation of late era Walker. I had the same feeling when Nick Cave announced his new album would be called Nocturama.

!!!

We have a Bish Bash falls here in Western MA, please do show there thanks bye

Just reading about the song 'Only Myself to Blame' that Scott did for 'The World is Not Enough' Bond film. Poor decison by the director...

Arnold broke tradition by not ending the film with a new song or a reprise of the opening theme. Originally, Arnold intended to use the song "Only Myself to Blame", written by David Arnold & Don Black and sung by Scott Walker and inspired by the failed romance between Bond and Elektra King, who turns out to be a a villain. However, director Michael Apted "felt it it was too much of a downer for the end of the movie" and Arnold replaced it with a techno remix of the "James Bond Theme". "Only Myself to Blame", is the nineteenth and final track on the album

Where's that from? That new book about Bond music?

Does anybody know if the cd version of the 1st 5lps box set was a limited edition. I can't see it being sold reasonably cheaply anywhere suddenly. I had been putting off buying t thinking it was going to be around for a while.

Yeah, it's not even on ebay.

Or on Discogs, even. Weird.

i almost bought that but couldn't justify it just for the pola x stuff (but should've, that pola x stuff is good)

they're not talking about the 5 easy pieces box, they're talking about the recent reissue/remaster of the first five solo albums. But yeah, you should've shelled out for pola x and also for the 2 ute lemper songs, which are incredible. as good as anything on the later albums imo

Rough Trade seems to have copies still.

ohhhh bad reading skills, sorry.

Grabbed one.

It'll come out half-price with a DVD now...

but:

Dear Customer, Unfortunately, we have had to cancel your order for Scott Walker Scott Walker - The Collection 1967 - 1970 CDx5 because it is now out of print and we can no longer obtain it from our suppliers.

Kind Regards,
Rough Trade Shops Customer Service

Found a (more local) place that has it.

But! It's Getting Very Difficult!

find it weird that a package was given so much build up and exposure pre-release and some big adverts is already out of print within a matter of months.

There's a copy on Amazon for 80 quid if you're desperate.

I got it from Camberley's Rock Box for £23

I'll give you £21, £21, £21

So I'm not the only one who didn't ear that the cd box set was a limited edition. Assuming that it must be since its disappeared from everywhere including the Universal UK website, though the vinyl one is still up there.

hear even

(xxp) NickB Came Through

Like a gothic monster perched on Notre Dame

Well I didn't like to say but...

i bought mine when it came out for £17.28 na na na had no idea it was limited at all or would have bought TWO

yeah, i got mine on pre-release as well ..

but the fact remains, it is a little weird for a major label pressing to have been deleted so quickly.

could it have been that the cost of the sturdy box was too much for a bigger run ?

(kinda like the very heavy duty Roxy Music boxset .. )

Well, the only other place I found had it for $69 plus postage, from a US based place, so hey.

It was one I was going to get, one of these days, but never got round to it.

Still, one of those boxes that had a CD price of "quite reasonable", and an LP box of "How Much!?"

.. and here it is!

Mind you, I wondered into HMV on that Tuesday (of the previous message), and there it was in the rack, £22 or thereabouts.

Was wondering if it might be available through HMV but they don't have mailorder set up on their site yet, or didn't appear to when i was panically looking last week on finding it had gone.
Had already posted a forlorn message about it being gone and how was a man supposed to live and face such times and live without somebody crooning existential angst in a winning baritone? On Facebook so hope somebody in my family doesn't read that and think I better get him that for Xmas then.
Cos in the middle of typing this message the doorbell went and I now have a copy sitting in my lap waiting to be ripped to my hard drive for ease in listening though my computer which is the music source for my living room.
also got a copy of the Pharaoh Sanders anthology 'You've got To Have Freedom' after mislaying my earlier copy some years ago. Bet that turns up as I spring-clean now.

I am in the market for used copies of the previous round of remasters (the mid 2000s ones) if anyone just bought the box and wants to unload them for used prices, BTW. My Scott CDs are all the early 90s editions.

Hints on the SW facebook page about some kind of live event soon to be announced in nyc. I'm hoping it's something like the tilting and drifting thing that was put on in the UK. Fuck, if it's even a ballet performance of And Who... I'll be there in a hot minute.

whoah! i'd go if it's just him shadow boxing with hanging meat slabs

Tribute concert w/live strings, no Scott involvement so it won't be as good as tilting & drifting (which was great); it'll be streamed for those who can't make it.

I don't know enough of those artists. Do I really want to hear Adam Green sing Scott Walker????

T&d was great cause it had trained singers doing semi-operatic settings of the songs but you also had to put up with losers like albarn trying to sing farmer in the city

Dang that's rather disappointing. Obv I knew there'd be no actual SW performance but something like tilting & drifting was my hope. Oh well.

yessssssssss

Finally got round to playing the box set! Told you I was saving it!

The girls love "Jackie" btw..

'How far have you got?'

Well, I liked 2 better than 1, and I'm halfway through 3 and liking it more than 2..

3 is the generally considered the best. I think there are songs on 2 and 4 as good as any on 3, maybe better, but 3 is the most consistently good and interesting
