Small Change - 2018 European Anti- label Remastered 11-track LP Reissue

2018 remastered reissue of Tom Waits' blistering masterpiece originally released in 1976 - heavily jazz-influenced, with a lyrical style that owed influence to Raymond Chandler and Charles Bukowski as well as a vocal delivery influenced by Louis Armstrong, Dr. John and Howlin' Wolf. The music, for the most part, consists of Waits' gravelly, rough voice, set against a backdrop of piano, upright bass, drums and saxophone. Some tracks have a string section, whose sweet timbre is starkly contrasted to Waits' voice.

Remastered by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan - pressed on 180 gram vinyl - delivered in a glossy lyric inner sleeve - includes MP3 download card - ulitmately housed in a picture cover equalling the original 1976 artwork
