Tom Waits, Big Time, 1988 on Island Records

Live album from Tom Waits, including performances from the 1987 tour, also available as a concert film on Amazon Prime / MGM+.

Waits is joined by Willie Schwarz, Michael Blair, Greg Cohen, Marc Ribot, and Ralph Carney – and Kathleen Brennan and Waits co-produced. Most (all?) of the Tom Waits catalogue is being reissued these days but it is great to find an early pressing.

My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is actually a Brazillian pressing manufactured by BMG Ariola Discos Ltda. Divisão Sonopress, as you can see from the rim text on the labels.
