Tom Waits--Real Gone, Vinyl Record

Dive deep into the gritty genius of Tom Waits on Real Gone—his 16th studio album, originally released in October 2004 by Anti‑ in the U.S.. It marks a bold departure: no piano, immersive beatboxing, percussion by Waits himself and his son Casey, along with contributions from Marc Ribot and Les Claypool. The result is a genre-melting mix of funk, rock-steady, urban/rural blues, and raw anti-pop experimentation.

This copy is the original 2004 U.S. pressing, not the later remaster or reissue versions. It features all original inserts, adding authenticity and collector value.
