The Walker Brothers Story was released at the time of the group's break up. Despite being a double LP it managed to omit several of their UK top twenty hits. Better compilations of this superior, prototype boy band are currently available. (UK:9)
"The Walker Brothers were not brothers, they were actually Scott Engel, Gary Leeds and John Maus. Once they adopted their chosen group name, they dropped their own surnames and became Scott, Gary and John Walker. Unable to make it in their American homeland, they relocated to England, where they became successful all over Europe, although they had far more hits in the UK than elsewhere. They sang pop ballads superbly, though they could up the tempo enough to provide variation."
"Decent compilation and a good place to pick up those great Walker Brothers singles, in particular the spectoresque productions of Make It Easy On Yourself and The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore. They were perfect for Scott Walker's deep croon. Although The Walker Brothers stuff outside the big hits hardly makes me want to buy their catalogue though."
"Nice collection. Worth getting for the great Walker Brothers singles. However, this is no substitute for the Scott Walker 'Scott' records."
"A great selection of tracks from the best boy band of the 60s, with well known songs such as their first hit Make It Easy On Yourself, which reached No 1 in 1965, the evergreen The Sun Ain`t Gonna Shine Anymore, the romantic My Ship Is Coming In and lots more."
"Listening to these songs, the awesome voice of Scott Walker still manages to send a shiver down my spine."
"There's a certain and very warm feeling which runs through you when you hear any one of The Walker Brothers hits from the 60s. Maybe it was the orchestration, or the big production, but your ears immediately prick up."
