If you bought Tom Waits’ 2006 odds ‘n’ ends collection Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards when it first dropped, then you got yourself three CDs’ worth of Tom Waits. That’s a lot of Tom Waits! But if you decided to wait for the vinyl, then you’ve got an even more humongous Waits onslaught coming your way.
On December 8, Anti- will release Orphans as a limited vinyl set. You’ll get all of the tracks contained on the CDs, plus six bonus tracks. That’s 62 songs spread over seven LPs, all of which will be pressed on 180 gram vinyl. You’ll probably want to limber up and do some stretches before you even attempt to lift this thing.
The bonus tracks include covers of Fats Waller’s “Crazy ‘Bout My Baby†and the Brecht/Weill song “Canon Song”, as well as “Diamond in Your Mind”, a track written by Waits and his wife Kathleen Brennan for Solomon Burke, and the originals “No One Can Forgive Me” and “Mathie Grove”.
Waits’ double-disc live album Glitter and Doom is still coming November 24 from Anti-, and it still includes a full disc of Tom Waits stage patter. So if you happen to draw a Tom Waits-loving co-worker in your office’s Secret Santa pool, you’ll have plenty of options on what to give him or her.
