This is the Japanese domestic CD release of "The Early Years," a compilation album featuring rare, early recordings by Tom Waits. This is a must-have for fans, offering a chance to enjoy the fresh yet weathered vocals of a young Tom Waits, before the classic album "Closing Time." Included: Japanese commentary (liner notes) ※ Obi is missing. Disc and Jacket: There are some minor scratches and stains due to aging, but overall in good condition. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for something in new condition, as this is a used item.
