Media Sound Studios, New York City, December 14th, 1976 - Remastered Edition -

This release features a remastered broadcast recording of a rare radio appearance by Tom Waits in New York around the time of the release of his masterpiece album, "Small Change." His voice, remarkably husky for someone still in his twenties at the time, and his melancholic melodies, delivered with his unique piano accompaniment, are truly remarkable. Also included is "Tom Trauberts Blues," which gained popularity after being used as the ending theme for a certain drama. Enjoy this rare early studio performance by Tom Waits in high-quality, remastered broadcast audio.
