Description
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Swordfishtrombones on September 1, Tom Waits will issue a newly remastered version of that landmark album, along with its two follow-ups, Rain Dogs (1985) and Franks Wild Years (1987).

They will be followed on October 6 by the reissues of his remaining Island studio albums, Bone Machine (1992) and The Black Rider (1993).

All albums were mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering under the guidance of Waits’ longtime audio engineer, Karl Derfler. Swordfishtrombones was sourced from the original EQ’ed ½” production master tapes while Rain Dogs, Franks Wild Years, Bone Machine and The Black Rider were sourced from the original ½” flat master tapes. The new CD editions will come in digipaks that replicate the original LPs.

This is fantastic news.

My favorite era of Waits by far.

Invisible Pedestrian posted an article which described these CDs better than Universal's own solicitation did, so I've moved that up into the first post. (The article also mentioned coloured vinyl editions that will only be available from Waits' website.)

My favorite era too. I hope there is a vinyl release for Bone Machine.
