This is a complete playthrough of Bounced Checks by Tom Waits. I did not change the volume at all, I played it the same throughout. There is an obvious signal when the vinyl is flipped, but, seriously, I am the first one to try and upload the whole thing. The vinyl is as-k-52-316 ask52316. It is the German pressing. The matrix number on side a is r/s Alsdorf 52316a3 or rs alsdorf 52316-a3 and the b side matrix says r/s alsdorf 52316 b4 or rs alsdorf 52316b4.
I uploaded this because nearly every other album is available on youtube except this one in entirety.
If you want to send you gratification, please find some of my original rap and metal music at / doublecrossrecords or try doublecrossrecords.com. I also make construction related stickers for sale at www.etsy.com/m...

Jersey Girl is the song of a love story between a rough looking gentle guy and a frail looking quirky gal. I love Tom and Kathleen together, and all the fantastic works came out from their magicall union for us to rejoice. What a perfect couple! ❤
THANK YOU from the bottom of my scar tissue heart 70 yrs living
Tom Waits is and always has been my "wtf has gone wrong with music...i'm off to listen to something of real substance by Mr Waits"...THANK GOD for Tom Waits...sorry i mean't to say THANK GOD FOR TOM WAITS!!!!!!!!!!
Feels like coming home.....i met this man's music back in 1989 late one evening whilst hearing his manifestations of zeee mind bouncy off the walls of the loft area in a house of multiple occupation of a dude called Graham, who invited me up and we drank coffee into the wee small hours, with great conversation and Tom's stuff playing on and on..
Graham and i are still friends....and Tom Waits is still floating around the both of us.
Great stuff.
I didn't discover Tom until his 2011 release, Bad as Me. Better late than never.
Graham last name wasn't love by any chance? He's in his 70s by now
I lived in San Diego when Tom was down here, the SD he sings about in early albums. And I worked at the first stand alone TowerRecords. NOTHING has "gone wrong with music"... there's still plenty of great out there... but it doesn't come up and bite you on the ass. You have to find it. Not enough people look and they should look to find them. Twas always thus.
I'm 79 and a lifelong jazz, Zappa, blues, stream of consciousness poetry and prose, Lenny Bruce, Lord Buckley, George Carlin, etc etc lover all my long life so everything this guy's done since he came on the scene is Gold to me. 🎉🎉❤️❤️🙏🙏🤪
Because he IS GOLD!💕🎼🎤⭐️
you’re an aging hepster 😂 let’s have some of your steam of consciousness soup then. Bring it man!
This compilation was my intro to Tom Waits. I bought it on a secondhand casette when I was 15-16 yrs old, and I obsessively listened to it. Thank you so very much for uploading this on TH-cam as I haven't been able to find that casette for quite some time! I find the versions on this compilation to be amazing and bring back memories of my teenage years.
That's a cool story. A cassette of this must have been a trip. And funny that I do not remember this LP. It's top-shelf! My intro to Tom Waits was when my brother handed me the CD with Mule Variations loaded. That was a strong hook.
Thanks, @Erstauf, for posting this gem for the rest of us. Been listening to and loving Tom Waits since first hearing "Invitation To The Blues" back in 1992, 31 years and about a month ago...I was almost 20 and about to discover my inner bleeding heart artiste...and I'm still on this blessed pilgrimage on this lovely blue-and-green marble we call Earth. Tom Waits is unparalleled as a songwriter, storyteller and poet of the heart. Cool human, too. Totally digging these "lost" tracks. 💗🙏🏼🎶🪷
He just had a great way to explain life for so many that are lost
The Piano Has Been Drinking... amazing.
And the bar stool has been farting
Tom était beauté, message, violence et rêve, mais surtout l'instrument puissant d'une volonté formidable. il disait "Je veux" quand beaucoup d’autres marmonnaient "je voudrais" Il a atteint son but sans se plier à la plus infime compromission, comme une charrue accrochée à une étoile. Une fois pour toutes, ce poète-là traçait son chemin et ne s'en écartait jamais, refusant toute flagornerie qui fait de la musique populaire d'aujourd'hui une lasse prostituée 🌺🕊
im glad that i discovered him in my 20s
I discovered him in my 20s. That was 40 years ago. The first song I ever heard on radio was "Step Right Up", the second was "Nighthawks"
@@frankmoyer5822 nice to hear that! must have been so nice to listen to his stuff in the radio etc. Even my parents don't know him, i have no one to share his awesomeness with
@@overdrive112 By the way: Have you seen the movie, "The Ballad of Buster Scrugs" , or "Down By Law" ?
@@frankmoyer5822 The Ballad of Buster Scrugs is a Gem! I love it. I look forward to watch down by law soon! Never heard of it before. The only one i know featuring Tom waits is a short clip in a movie named "Coffee and Cigarettes" thanks a lot for the recommendition
@@overdrive112 He also plays an insane man in Bram Stoker's Dracula (short clip)
Also a short cameo in the movie "Wolfen" where he is playing Jitterbug boy in a bar.
And I think he is in the movie Steel Magnolias.
ANOTHER GREAT QUALITY SHARE
From one rain dog to another - TW you are a genius. Thank You.
Happy memories of working ridiculously long hours developing games for a radical new console - that didn't make it - with this playing every couple of hours. The absolute best version of The Piano Has Been Drinking, too.
Were you developing pong?
@@redrickschuhart4065 No, it was a thing called the Konix Multi System, which started out as a very ambitious project, then got worse and worse.
Jersey girl has to be one if not the greatest love song ever written.
He wrote it for his wife Kathleen. She was a Jersey Girl.
Never heard this version of "the piano has been drinking" GENIUS....
Thank you posting. I love the crackling in the background -- makes sense for Tom Waits music.
Thanks Man!!!... from one of the oldest Tom Waits fans...70...never heard most of these versions...standout for me was revelatory version of 'The Piano Has Been Drinking' just fucking poetic transcendant recording...love him so much ...seen 7 times starting in 1974...,collected all LP's /tapes & ...etc ...ps met once in Houston at Lonestar/Texas opry house...interesting story that night...will be in my ?? soon to be published memoir of that era..."A Peyote Pilgrim's Progress'...Mostly True Tall Tales/Short Stories of a North Country Farm Boy who hitr the road likje Kerouac with the Draft Board hot on his winding hot & cold Trail...etc...adios Thanks,,,too fucking cool~!~!!~
was sleeping on this record. Oh,I thought I had heard ALL of Tom Waits (sheeeit, as if there's always more when an artist is as prolific and lovable as 'ol' Tom Frost') releases and recorded stuff, but I SORELY MISTAKEN when I heard this version of The Piano Has Been Drinking!? Which must be the greatest song ever flipping mad, if not at least it's this week's number one on repeating track! Just can't get this itch scratched right now! It IS. THE. THE version of that song. Where has it been all my life? I'm going to go sit in timeout and think about what I've done wrong.

Best version of The Piano Has Been Drinking ever, recorded in The National Stadium , Dublin. Was there with my then girlfriend, later wife, now ex. Some things are more durable than others, final score Piano 1 Marriage 0.
Tom walked onstage with a pack of cigarrettes and a bottle of whiskey. Both were finished before the set. Thank you for uploading this. Great times, great memories.
In my top 5 Tom cuts.
This is the only Waits album (aside from the six vinyl-only Orphans tracks) with exclusive songs not on Spotify, so THANK YOU so much for uploading, so it can fill in the gap of my "Complete" Spotify Waits playlist!
Thanks for uploading
Tom Waits is one of my fave muso.
Thank you. I miss vinyl.
True story. I had 2 blind men tune my piano once.
It never sounded so good.
And boy could they play
Spot on.
I love this. Thank you for sharing, Estauf.
YOU ARE SO GOOD STORYTELLER TOM
..but you know there ain't no devil, there's just God when he's drunk.
Best line ever !
So I've heard.
For the antecedents to this line see Mark Twain's writings On Religion and George Carlin's routines about God the Schizoid Psycho Killer/Lover.
Hi drunks! We don't you die, all.
When they devil Gets drunk and he lisstens to this album thé tort 41:55 ures stops in hell
Never leave Tom behind.
Thanks for sharing. My favourite versions of Jersey Girl and Piano are on this
The lyrics are unique and the music is rich with a hoarse voice.
Thanks 👍 for your time uploading this gem
Great music!
really cool dadio smooth
Crazy perfrct! Period!
Thnx , it sounds great!
Thank you
The only good thing I found on the internet all morning. Unemployed; 5 months. Dismal. Joy is in short supply. No idea how to live in a world hell bent on selling itself to itself for profit. I'd rather exit the plane like DB Cooper. Where do the ducks go when the pond freezes over...
World's all about the money and there ain't nothin else.
@@experiongallup yeah sucks balls. At least past me found this song and present you reminded me of it. Awesome first song on album but the whole thing is gold. Play it loud. Eleventh month no work, lol.
I had no idea Jersey Girl was an original by Tom Waits. Always enjoyed hearing Bruce Springsteen's live version.
🙏
A common occurrence Bro'. Another example is D.Gilmours cover of "No way out of here". Written n recorded by Ken Baker of "Unicorn". Lyric resonates uncannily with the teaching of the Buddha. As usual, original is best. 🙏
Thanks.
Peculiar that Bette Midler and Tom Waits sang this wonderful duet "I Never Talk To Strangers," in 1977 and that was it. They never got together again to record another duet. 46 years.
Is there bad blood between them? I find it hard to believe that something that worked so nicely was never followed up on.
She continued to perform his songs wonderfully after their relationship ended - great version of Shiver me Timbers by Bette
Bette & Tom Waits have been friends since the mid 70’s, this is what he had to say on their friendship ~
“I wrote some songs for her. like “I Never Talk to Strangers” and “Rainbow Sleeves.” As soon as I met her, I felt like I had already known her. We can talk about anything. I love her musical impulses; she has a great sense of history in terms of her involvement in show business. She wanted to open a lounge act together, featuring us as Edie and Edie Wednesday. We’ve been friends for a long time, you know, since ’74.”
Interview Magazine, 1989
@ - But that's my point, Tom. Friends since the 70s and have done nothing together since. Why? I find it peculiar. Maybe there was a falling out? Their paths didn't cross since the 70s? Does it matter? Of course not.
I'm curious because that duet "I Never Talk To Strangers" was wonderful & I thought they'd do another. And it never happened (To my knowledge).
@@lastrada52 Definitely not a falling out, since they're still friends (I remember her mentioning having dinner with their friends, Tom and Kathleen, recently on some show. No idea why they don't do anything together professionally. Both following their muses and their muses haven't gotten together?
I'm more interested in why he doesn't do concerts any more. Kicking myself for not going to the Bridge show in 2013. I think that's the last time he performed? At least it's the last time in the Bay Area.
gives me crave for a drink an a cigarette-- can't have either
That is such a sweet thing to say, about little italy, or old new york. Thanks. CIA Bremner
I am lucky, I don't smoke or drink(hardly). But, I can have an ocasional cig just to remember
I outlasted both of those two, but I'll take a pinch hit of medicinal weed for you.
I’m drunk on vodka right now. It’s 8:00 am. Today would have been 4 years sober. I didn’t even realize that until right now. And I’m drinking like I never did before. Liquor straight from the bottle. I’m back and forth as to whether or not to go to a 9:00 am meeting. I don’t even know if I’m allowed to go like this.
20 yaers Tom waits...
Graffiante e vellutato...
My cat loves this. And I do the same
Me the third.
😀 i love it !! 🙂
🤨🤔🤗😁I'm thinking about when I wondered ~ 💫💨🧠about - what's up about Mikey's blue Harley on "American Chopper"Yup‼
Love 'Mr Henry' 26:34 - No friggin idea why it wasn't included on Spare Change (1975) - It's totally worthy.
And Burma Shave is perfection from his '70s era
"Mr. Henry" is one of my favorites too.
waltzing Matilda is dancing with you Tom

Did anybody told you today you are a Fucking Genious..?!
He knew full well he could do brilliant ballads one after the other. Nope. His scream rag was necessary to him.

Credibility for what I say vs what I do? I'm not seeking approval. And 99% of what people live by is a facade in the first place.
Please i like byu a human Who translate in Poland he
God's always drunk and away on business
WTF playing advertisements in the middle of the songs.🖕🏻
No better musical wordsmith ever....raspy or otherwise. What a great character...interviewers dream, except maybe the ones too straight laced and and living in denial rose- cast dream word.😅🎉🕊️😮😊🎼📔📝🖊️🙈🙉🙊
Who's the woman ruining it?
Bette Midler.
