This is a reissue of a rare title from a handmade label by collectors for collectors, which was distributed only in very limited quantities. While copies quickly circulate these days, this item is an officially licensed reissue from a formally acquired master.

This is a live recording of Tom Waits—not the drunken poet Charles Bukows, but Tom Waits! Disc 1 features a band style, while Disc 2 offers a solo acoustic style—a great coupling that lets you enjoy two different styles. And both are top-notch soundboard recordings. Put the discs in your player, dim the lights, and your room will instantly transform into a diner.
