Bad As Him: Tom Waits' Anti- Catalogue To Be Remastered, 'Real Gone' Remixed

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Iconoclastic singer Tom Waits is reissuing the latest part of his catalogue this winter.

Waits' website recently announced remastered CD and vinyl editions of his entire Anti- catalogue, issued between 1999 and 2011. Waits and his longtime wife/musical collaborator Kathleen Brennan have personally remastered these six albums, with 2004's Real Gone receiving a new remix by Karl Derfler.

The titles will release roughly in reverse chronological order: 2011's Bad As Me streets next Friday, November 10; the remixed Real Gone and 2002's simultaneous releases Blood Money and Alice hit stores November 24; the live Glitter and Doom (2009) is out December 1; and 1999's Mule Variations is due December 15. (Waits' site promises a reissue of the outtakes box set Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards (2006), in 2018.)

While signed to Anti-, Waits, against all odds, enjoyed some of his most successful time as a recording artist. Every one of his studio albums for the label reached the Top 40 of the Billboard 200, with Bad As Me even reaching No. 6. Waits also earned his second Grammy Award during this time, winning Best Contemporary Folk Album for Mule Variations (lead single "Hold On" was also nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance--as clear a sign as any of his musical unpredictability); in 2011, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Full pre-order listings are available on Waits' official store, and many of the vinyl titles (plus both formats of the remixed Real Gone) are available from Amazon below.

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
