"SWORDFISHTROMBONES" ~ TOM WAITS. 1983 UK ISSUE STEREO LP: ILPS 9762 on the ISLAND Label.

Written and Produced by Tom Waits.

This is a EX-/EX STEREO UK pressing (A-1U-1;B-1U-1) of "Swordfishtrombones" which is the very excellent 15 track studio album from the unique American singer, songwriter, musician, composer and actor Tom Waits

It was recorded at Sunset Sound, August 1982 except A3 recorded at Leeds Instrumental Rental and was released in the UK in September 1983 on the Island Label.

".....  this was the first album that Waits produced himself.........Stylistically different from his previous LPs, the album moves away from the piano and string orchestra arrangements of the late 1970s, replacing them instead with unusual instrumentation and a somewhat more abstract songwriting approach  ...."
