ORPHANS: BRAWLERS, BAWLERS AND BASTARDS sold out shortly after its 2006 release and is now a collector's item.  Tom Waits has never before signed a copy for resale. The 7 disc 180 gram vinyl co, collection of 56 tracks, including 6 additional bonus tracks, and a booklet with lyric received a Grammy Nomination and is widely considered one of Waits' best recordings.

The collection goes far beyond a simple career retrospective, with over 30 new songs (from Tom Waits's own versions of songs he gave to other artists, to pieces recorded in the garage with his kids). Also includes Tom's unique interpretations of songs by such diverse talents as the Ramones, Daniel Johnston, Kurt Weill & Bertolt Brecht, and Leadbelly. Each CD is sub-titled--"Brawlers," "Bawlers," and "Bastards"--to capture the full spectrum of Waits's ranging and roving musical styles. "Brawlers" is chock full of raucous blues and full-throated juke-joint stomp, "Bawlers" contains Celtic and country ballads, waltzes, lullabies, piano, and classic Waits songs, while "Bastards" is filled with experimental music, stories, and jokes. The limited edition deluxe package contains a bound 24-page booklet that reproduces Tom's lyrics in the style of a volume of old poetry.
