Description
Scott Walker - "The Drift" - Original May 2006 promo, two x vinyl LP, in as new condition, with book and complete with polythene protective sleeve.
This promo vinyl should not be confused with the standard 2006 vinyl issue (Cat no CAD 2603), nor the 2012 vinyl reissue. Its catalogue number is Drift 1 and the outer sleeve is printed with Drift 1, as is the trail-off area of the vinyl, and "for promotional use only" on the back cover. This is not the reissue - it is the original.
Walker composed the songs for this album slowly over the eleven years, soon after the release of 1995's "Tilt". Despite its complexity, every twist and turn of "The Drift" is absolutely compelling. Taken as a whole, the fragments, details and sensations within it seem to add up to an overarching sense of despair. You can even hear it in Walker's voice, no longer the self-possessed baritone of old, but here sounding frayed and tormented. Its as if he is wracked by a vision of true horror.
This rare, initial promo of the original 2006 release is the only one you will find in the UK Rare Record Guide and was issued to radio DJs and journalists. Limited to 500 only. And it is as new.
Delivered in a professional record mailer.
Posting in the UK and worldwide.
