Reviews

oww Aug 20, 2024
Stunning. Wait's strongest and most powerful release. The record hits me like a hammer every time I put it on from time to time for 30 years now.
Eirikstim Mar 12, 2024
Well I just paid a small fortune as the UMe version was so disappointing. Money well spent.
albertocaeiro Jul 13, 2023
Tom’s 12 July ‘23 newsletter: The good - Universal will reissue his Island Records catalog ~ Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, Frank’s Wild Years, Bone Machine, and The Black Rider ~ on CD and on vinyl this Fall. Limited edition coloured vinyl options, too. The bad - the remastering is, again, being overseen by Tom and Kathleen Brennan. Expect the same veiled, shaved-highs sonics as presented in the Asylum reissues.

Update: Chris Bellman digitally remastered from the original tapes. Good chance these remasters will sound better than the Asylum catalog reissues.

For those of you wanting this record without paying the astronomical charges listed here, this (and all the other Island releases), are being reissued this fall (2023). Head to Tom’s website to preorder.

This really needs repressing. Those prices suggest a reprint would be viable.
