Solo John/Solo Scott is a split-EP by John Walker and Scott Walker, members of the American pop group The Walker Brothers. It was released in 1966 and reached number four on the UK EP Chart.[1] While the EP is made up of solo recordings, it is officially considered part of the Walker Brothers group discography.
The EP was produced by John Franz with musical accompaniment directed by Reg Guest. It includes the original Scott Walker composition "Mrs. Murphy". All four tracks have since been re-released on the expanded edition of The Walker Brothers' second album, Portrait.
