TOM WAITS - LIVE AT THE TROUBADOUR 1975 - Two sources! (Big O and Past Daily Backstage Weekend)

 Nice early Tom Waits set from Big O the other day . . . . . . . it has been speed adjusted and that’s welcome I reckon on first listen and I have this in very poor form from an earlier share on Dime but this is way better and really very good quality

Alternate version from the engineer! (little to choose to be honest to my eardrobes!*) This too (below) is an unchaptered version but on reflection is actually much better quality*having just listened to the two sources back to back but you pays yer money and takes yer choice . . . . . . . less boomy perhaps on the bass end! Less ‘hot’ Very good source . . . . . .
