Orphans – Vinyl Only Bonus Tracks (2009)
Because 56 Tracks Just Weren’t Enough
Tom Waits’ 3CD odds & sods compilation, Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, was unquestionably one of his best releases in almost a decade. It was filled to the brim with vault material that Waits had, inexplicably, left sitting in the can. Pitchfork reported last month that for the December 8th vinyl release of Orphans, the 7LP set would be fattened with six bonus tracks. I don’t have a turntable anymore… or the desire to re-purchase a set of material I’ve already paid for, so I’ll be passing on the vinyl. You might feel the same way. It’s a good way to re-promote a great collection, though, which we’re doing here.
Crazy ‘Bout My Baby (2:03)
Diamond In Your Mind (5:07)
Canon Song (2:56)
Pray (3:02)
No One Can Forgive Me (4:49)
Waits (6:32)

Thanks Willard! My wife bought me the vinyl version for xmas (no surprises there) but obviously I haven't gotten it yet.
Capt W – you spoil us!

Thanks!
This is great. Thank you, yet again.
I don't suppose anyone has the 5th disc from the Petty live set floating around?
Thanks! Excited to hear these. A selection from Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards probably gets played at least once daily through my headphones.
And thanks for this too! This is an amazing box set. Can't wait to check these out.
Thanks again for all your great work on this site.
Thanks for the kind words and the comments.
Awesome! Thanks, Willard. Just yesterday I got my Glitter & Doom 2 LP set in the mail. It's pressed on very high quality vinyl, perfect gift for a vinyl junkie like me…
Another very cool feature of the vinyl set is that it comes with a certificate for a free MP3 download of the music, so I don't have to worry about how I'm going to get the tunes onto my iPod! Tom Waits rocks.
Hey nice one, Willard!
You don't have a turntable anymore…? Man!
Exasperated, roy
Thanks Willard. Like you I already have the 3CD set, so I'm looking forward to listening to these.
You just keep on giving, don't you? 'Preciate it.
Tom Waits for no man !
Some of Tom's stuff is a little too far out for even my tastes but it's always interesting. I've never heard an intrepretation of the old standard Little Musgraves/Matt Groves quite like the one here and am certain that I never will again. My favorite here was the Diamonds track. No one can do a ballad like Tom. Thanks for this
Thanks for the assessment.
Hi, Willard,
You sure know how to make a Tom Waits fan happy.

Many many thanks for this. But really, you don't have a record player anymore? Time to reconsider, methinks. :)
