Pleasure For Music

Pleasure For Music (MFP) is a British label that was established in 1965 as a collaboration between Hamlyn and EMI Records. Originally selling low-cost re-issues and original material, MFP quickly gained popularity. With offices in various cities around the world, including London, Paris, and Sydney, MFP became known for its diverse music catalog.

In 1970, MFP's parent company was acquired by Reed Paper Group, which was later bought out by EMI in 1971. Despite these changes in ownership, MFP remained an independent company in Belgium. In 1973, a parallel label called [l41886] was launched to further expand their offerings.

Throughout the '70s and into the '80s, MFP faced challenges due to technological advancements and industry consolidations. However, they persevered as a global distribution network. In 1985, MFP introduced a new logo featuring purple labels under the MUSIC FOR PLEASURE/EMI name.

American singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. Scott Walker was born on 9th January 1943 in Hamilton, Ohio, USA. He gained fame as the lead singer of The Walker Brothers and moved to the UK in 1965 in search of success. He remained a resident of London until his death on 22nd March 2019.

Produced in summer 1972 and released in autumn of the same year by Phillips Records, this is one of the most obscure and controversial albums in Scott Walker's discography. The album was poorly received by critics and if we exclude a 1975 reissue on Contour Label, it has since been deleted till this very welcomed re release. The Moviegoer is a declared journey through Pop arrangements of iconic film music themes. The album includes mainstream oriented version of classic themes like Nino Rota's love theme from the "Godfather", Lalo Schifrin's theme from "The Fox", Michel Legrand's theme from "Summer of 42" and Baez / Morricone's anthemic song from Sacco and Vanzetti.
