Tom Waits releases 'Glitter and Doom Live', a collection of outstanding live tracks from last year's sold out US and European tour, through Anti- on 23rd November. The double CD set contains 17 live recordings from ten nights along the tour including, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Tulsa, Knoxville, Atlanta, Paris, Milan, Jacksonville, Dublin and Columbus. The second CD, entitled 'Tom Tales', holds nearly 40 minutes of Waits quixotic ruminations on topics ranging from romantic spiders to injured vultures. The CD will also come with a booklet of live photos.
A vinyl version of 'Glitter and Doom Live' will feature a gatefold sleeve with live photos from the tour and contain all 17 tracks, but no 'Tom Tales'. Inside the LP, Anti- will provide a card with mp3 download instructions, which will enable the buyer to download 'Tom Tales' as well.
www.tomwaits.com is set to go live on 13th October. As the first official website for all things Waits, visitors are able to access news, updates on recordings, new releases, tours, films and more. The site will be a resource for lyrics, photos, wit and wisdom, strange but true tales, and more imponderables on topics as far ranging as the origin of consciousness, the sexuality of Christ and the lonely journey of the male seahorse.
