Tom Waits Broadcast Collection 1973-1978

The release of Closing Time in March 1973 announced the arrival of a strikingly original singer-songwriter, delivering wry, digressive and bittersweet lyrics in a uniquely rasping voice, set to imaginative arrangements drawing on jazz, folk, blues and pop.

This remarkable collection gathers nine superb live performances, originally broadcast between 1973 and 1978 and is accompanied by background notes and images.
