Brand new, still shrinkwrapped. Super rare vinyl box set!
***
This collection goes far beyond a simple career retrospective, with over thirty songs, from his own versions he gave to other artists to things recorded in the garage with his kids. Also includes Tom's unique interpretations of songs by such diverse talents as The Ramones, Daniel Johnston, Kurt Weill & Bertolt Brecht, and Leadbelly. Seperated into 3 collections, "Brawlers" is chock full of raucous blues and full-throated juke-joint stomp, "Bawlers" contains Celtic and country ballads, waltzes, lullabies, piano, and classic lyrical Waits' songs, while "Bastards" is filled with experimental music, stories, and jokes. This vinyl box set includes 7 full length LPs, including 6 additional bonus tracks not on the CD, and a dleluxe 12" booklet with lyrics. The beautifully designed booklet reproduces Tom's lyrics in the style of a book of old poetry, and includes never before seen photos.
