Notes:
This is one of my first (and favorite Tom Waits bootlegs). The original packaging bills this as the info given in the header above, which seems reasonable for much of the CD. There is no information on the artwork about the hilarious interview and song tacked on at the end, but it's from the Fernwood Tonight TV show, from an unknown date in 1977. A final issue with the packaging is that is mislabels track 5 as "Can't Wait to Get Off Work". The song selection, however, makes this a very good bootleg. It's fun to hear Waits at a point in his songwriting history when he was starting to experiment with the humorous and bizarre storytelling type of peotry we hear within 2 years.
