Heartattack and Vine [180g LP]

Heartattack and Vine closed Tom Waits' run on Asylum and pointed toward the rougher, stranger records to come. The title track and "Downtown" growl with gritty electric blues, "Mr. Siegal" stomps through a seedy underworld, and the album's ballads are some of his finest: "Jersey Girl", later a favourite of Bruce Springsteen, the tender "On the Nickel" and the closing "Ruby's Arms". Remastered as part of the Anti- reissue campaign of his early catalogue, this edition is pressed on 180g vinyl.
