Today is the 50th anniversary of Tom Waits's debut album, Closing Time, which came out on March 6, 1973. To mark the occasion, ANTI- Records has announced a reissue of the album.
The 50th anniversary vinyl pressing will be available on either black or clear versions, which have been cut as a double record on 45 rpm vinyl. The gatefold jacket apparently has been "specially created with thicker board and black poly-lined inner sleeves," according to a press release.
It comes out on June 2 and is available to pre-order here.
ANTI- will also collect stories and rare photos associated with Closing Time, although there isn't any bonus material on the album.
