Comments: a compilation album of previously released Scott Walker material. Compiled by Julian Cope in 1981 and released by Zoo Records. The album's title, Fire Escape in the Sky, is taken from the lyrics of the song "Big Louise" from Walker's album Scott 3.

"This compilation, put together by Julian Cope is widely regarded as the definitive Scott Walker collection. Glorious orchestration, the ‘voice’ and a cracking collection of songs that cast a long shadow over the eighties, influencing to varying degrees Marc Almond, Billy Mackenzie, David Sylvian and more recently, Divine Comedy and My Life Story. If you never listen to another piece of music, listen to ‘Montague Terrace in Blue’ …"

Grading system:  GOLDMINE

Mint: Absolutely perfect in every way, certainly never played, possibly even still sealed.

Near Mint (NM or M-): A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious sign of wear. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes either. And of course the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.

Very Good Plus (VG+) Generaly worth 50% of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Records surfaces may show some slight signs or wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeat play.LP inner sleeves will have some slight ring wear. , lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP jacket may also have slight signs of wear and may be marred by cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print or sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple minor things wrong with it, this would be a Near Mint. A synonym used by some collectors and dealers for very Good Plus is Excellent.

Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc.Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. Howerver, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. 

Good (G), Good Plus (G+):  Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible grooves wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A jacket or sleeve will have seam splits, especialy at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.

Poor (P), Fair (F): The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it.  Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
