saw the cinema fillum tonight. really worth it but GOD DAMN if that LATER... footage isn't included *in full* on the dvd there'll be hell. there was only a clip and that's his only live performance in front of an audience for what? decades? and it's *there* sitting unloved in the bbc's cans!

There's a great DVD-R doing the rounds of Walker rothers performances that has the whole thing on (and other oddities like the Britvic commercial). Not the best quality, but...

"Brothers"
Disappointed neither 'Til The Band Comes in' or 'Climate Of Hunter' got any votes, I thought I was doing my contrarian part by voting for Scott 2 (my actual favourite anyway).

the later footage is on Youtube last I checked.

Cope grows out of Scott and goes on to laud Sir Lord Baltimore lolz
Such are the perils of a professional record collector

In actual 1970 no doubt the Copemeister was grooving to the acid tones of White Plains and Cuff-Links.

Hey don't be dissin' White Plains, dude

Yeah, funny how you never see J.Cope and B.Gillespie in the same photo circa 1970.
THEY MUST HAVE BEEN IN DIFFERENT PLACES!!!

As I understand it B Gillespie was ejected from the studio by Sir Lord Baltimore after he tried to use their drum riser as an Orange mace.

I think proximity to Jools is upsetting to sensitives and seers. Seem to recall MES made some sort of threat when he appeared on the show as well.

Pleased to get Climate Of Hunter CD in an HMV sale today for £3. The clerk said it was proving popular, LOL because someone on one of these threads said it was the lowest volume selling Virgin release of all time.

Partly recorded at Sarm West, Climate Of Hunter would have made sense and probably found an audience as a ZTT album. Actually Nite Flights sounds to me like it must have been an influence on Trevor Horn.

Climate of Hunter, Tilt, and something else just got a vinyl reissue as well. Well Tilt seemed to still be in print from Drag City, so now there are two out there; the new one is 2 LPs.

2 lp Tilt eh?

I played it again last week and can confirm that in 2022, Tilt still sounds like the future.

My favourite Scott albums have been on re-shuffle for a long time, but Tilt has to be the one. I've been reading a lot of Ligotti recently too, so Soused has kind of edged its way up the ranks - I'm not sure if there is a reason I associate Soused with Ligotti, maybe the lyrics of the last track?Til The Band Comes In might be a curate's egg but I prefer the good part of it to even Scott 4 these days. Hugely underrated.Also underrated is Climate of Hunter which is its own vibe and really makes me wish Scott had had more of a chance to flex his muscles in the new wave era.

"Tilt" is far and away the best album he put out in the latter part of his career.

They should just cut the crap and release this as a compilation: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2D03FX9s32oNhy3VxHvE00?si=396c58c17b8f49d4

It should include this b-side from 1972, an outtake from Til The Band Comes In that would have been better than "Prologue" or the covers:
