Tom Waits, The Heart of Saturday Night, 1974 on Asylum

Second studio album from Tom Waits, following Closing Time, and the first produced by Bones Howe. An absolute must have.

Much of Waits’ catalog is now being reissued but I love a chance to find early pressings of these in good shape. It’s amazing to me how timeless he is – this could come out today and still feel fresh, or could be from the 60s.

My copy—via Worcester Record Riot—is a 1976 Specialty Records Pressing with the original inner liner.
