One of the rawest and most percussive albums in Tom Waits’ catalogue, Real Gone strips away the piano and dives deep into distorted blues, junkyard rhythms and lo‑fi experimental grit. Originally released in 2004, this 2017 remastered and remixed edition brings new clarity and weight to the album’s dense textures, with Waits’ trademark vocal growl sitting front and centre.

Pressed on 180‑gram heavyweight vinyl across two LPs, this European Anti‑ reissue (7548‑1) features contributions from Marc Ribot, Les Claypool, Larry Taylor and Casey Waits, capturing the album’s chaotic, clattering brilliance with renewed fidelity.
