The Walker Brothers Nite Flights Vinyl LP Ultra Clear Colour RSD 2026
Tracklist:
tbc
A first ever colour pressing for the sixth and final studio album by the Walker Brothers, initially released in July 1978, which has been cut to lacquer from the original Πinch master tapes.
The last of their three albums issued on GTO Records, unlike its predecessors it was made up entirely of original songs and, though it was largely ignored by the public upon release, it has long since been reappraised as something of a lost classic.
Indeed, the four tracks written by Scott Walker on side one are now widely regarded as some of his finest compositions, foreshadowing his re-emergence as an avant-garde artist in the mid-80s and influencing the work of Japan, Radiohead, Pulp and others.
The experimental, string-laden single âThe Electricianâ is particularly noteworthy; a remarkable piece that Midge Ure has claimed was the inspiration for the Ultravox smash âViennaâ.
And while Davie Bowieâs Heroes (1977) was brought to the studio by Scott as a creative reference, Bowie was equally taken by Nite Flights, listening to it while creating The Lodger (1979) and covering the title track in 1993 for his Black Tie White Noise album.
30 years after its release, UNCUT scribe Chris Roberts called Nite Flights, âone of the most important works of its time", praising the synergy of the trioâs individual styles.
Though they worked independently, the album has a coherence that belies the fact it even the band members described it as more like three miniature solo efforts than a true group album.
*Limited to 1 copy per customer/household, multiple orders will be cancelled without notice.
