Notes

The B side entitled "The Living End" and credited to J. Baird is identical to Scott Engels release "The Livin' End" which in fact is written by Hank Mancini and Rod McKuen. I can't tell a difference between the two, so I have no idea why this release has the song credited to J. Baird. I expect this is an error on behalf of the label printers.

Various biographies for Scott Walker also credit Scott as composing Kathalene. So who is J. Baird? Similarly the Japanese single issued by Polydor "Too Young To Know" also has both tracks credited to a J. Baird which is incorrect.

There is a lyric sheet supplied for both songs in English.

Stoneshaper

Does anyone know if this is a recording from Scott as a boy or from his 60's period? The Living End appears on Looking back with Scott Walker, but Kathalene only appears on this single.

SiIеnt

These recordings date back to 1958, but Polydor pushed this single out under the Scott Walker name as his singles were selling well in Japan. Similar situation applies to the Polydor single 'Too Young To Know'/'Sing Boy Sing'.

Hono

Hi, just picked up this single today, and "Kathalene" is young Scott. It's also on a compilation of early Scott called "The Fresh World of Scott Walker."
