Scott Walker's success as a teen idol with the Walker Brothers in no way prepared listeners for the true Scott of his solo debut.
The record found a surprisingly large audience - in Britain, anyway, where it reached the Top Three in 1967 but his teen fans would soon drift away as subsequent material became ever more personal and challenging.
Poke behind the velvet curtain of the lush orchestral arrangements here, and one finds a surprisingly literate existentialist at the helm of these proceedings.
His lyrical nuances were probably lost on his audience of predominately teenage girls, though they've earned him a small cult audience that endures to this day.
Besides presenting three of his own compositions, Walker covers tunes by Weill/Mann, Tim Hardin, and Andre & Dory Previn on this album, as well as three songs by his favourite writer, Jacques Brel.
Highlights include his exquisitely anguished rendition of Brel's classic "Amsterdam" and his dramatic cover of the early-'60s Toni Fisher pop ballad "The Big Hurt."
