Offered for sale is a 12" vinyl LP of 'Scott', the debut solo album from Scott Walker, previously a member of the Walker Brothers. The catalogue number is Philips BL.7816. This is a very early mono pressing from 1967 - this is apparent as the publisher for Side 2, track 1 is E.H. Morris. 

The vinyl itself is in good condition for its age. It is still relatively glossy, and though there are quite a few light surface marks and light scratches (please see the pictures for the worst of these), it plays through fine with no skips or jumps. The labels are generally clean - there are quite a lot of spindle marks to both sides, but there is no handwriting anywhere and no stickers. 

The picture sleeve is also in pretty good condition given its age. There are light signs of ringwear and some small creases in the laminate near the opening edge (please see the pictures), but it is good overall. 

The record comes with a plain inner sleeve. This in in good condition for its age and has done its job of protecting the record itself. 

Overall this is a nice example of this record in a good sleeve. It is not pristine by any means, but it is a nice, solid example of this very early pressing. 

Please feel free to ask any questions, and please take a look at my other items - including some other vinyl. Where possible, I’m happy to combine postage for multiple purchases.
