â?¢ His song-writing reached new peaks on this record (it was the first Scott Walker album to feature entirely original material) and is incisive, articulate and acerbic. Here are some of his finest compositions â?? The Seventh Seal (inspired by the classic Ingmar Bergman film), features a haunting Ennio Morricone-style arrangement, The Old Manâ??s Back Again also displays cinematic qualities and a penetrating theme (â??dedicated to the neo-Stalinist regime,â? the â??old manâ? of this song was supposedly Josef Stalin), Duchessand Boy Child are achingly beautiful, timeless classics. â?¢ The eclectic mix of folk, country, and soul influences contained, make this an intriguing and innovative body of work. â?¢ This special 50th anniversary edition has been mastered and cut to vinyl using the unique â??half-speedâ?? process, at Abbey Road Studios, London, for ultimate sound quality. - 180 GRAMS VINYL + DOWNLOAD
