Reviews

Dahl Apr 8, 2025
My copy has Bawlers printed instead of Bastards on the cd sleeve, so Bawlers is printed twice.
WolfCityUSA Jul 4, 2015
Can somebody point me in the right direction for help?

I bought the 7-LP pressing of this when it was new. I have a tendency to buy records, and they sometimes will sit on my shelf for years before I open them and play them. I played my copy of this for the first time last year, and it sounds beautiful.

The problem is a packaging error, wherein there is no LP-6, and two records of LP-5.

I've tried to contact the record label, to no avail. Is there anyone else I could reach out to to correct this error? I know the set is long-out-of-print. Maybe is there anyone out there who has two of LP-6, and would like to trade?
christiaan79 Aug 18, 2013
There were a limited pre order versions signed by Tom Waits himself. Anyone has this?
kuma.chan Oct 22, 2011
There was a sticker on the front quoting music journalists stating how wonderful this was and that it was Mr Waits best effort yet, but personally I found it lacking and delivered with little conviction from what we have became accustomed to expect. Unlike his other albums the music didn't seem to hang together as a coherent unit and the title Orphans seemed quite fitting.
