2023 Marks forty years since Tom Waits released Swordfishtrombones, ushering in a new and critically acclaimed musical era for Waits and his longtime songwriting and production partner, Brennan.

Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering under the guidance of Waits longtime audio engineer, Karl Derfler. The album packaging has also been restored. Available on 180g black vinyl.
