Notes

Though this cover photo bears a striking resemblance to Tom Waits, the photograph is actually one of a series taken by the Swedish photographer Anders Petersen at Café Lehmitz (a café near the Hamburg red-light boulevard Reeperbahn) in the late 1960s.

      Bummed to read this doesn’t sound good. I have a 1985 specialty press that sounds pretty good, but was hoping for this to be superb and worth buying.

        quality remastering. just based on that you'd be fine going for the original or this one.

        the remaster definitely has better artwork reproduction though. a shame that it's in a digisleeve. ofc you can always throw the disc in a mofi inner and a 4mil poly outer and it's nicer but goddamnit i wish cds were either in cardboard or plastic and not changing depending on the discog or album.

        i replaced my orig (coffee damaged lol) cd with this though and don't really regret it. the better packaging already makes it worth it.

          Why is this listed as 1986 when record label and back label both say 1985? I see the note about the name change in 1986, but isn't that just guesswork and it should be dated based on the label and cover date?

              This is all you need. Beautiful rendition of this record. Howie/Masterdisk magic. Definitive, easily.

                Sounds fantastic. I was worried it was too long for one piece of vinyl, but it's great.

                    This MOV release of Rain Dogs sounds great with a lot of details and it's flat and heavy vinyl.

                        Have to agree with the other posters. This pressing is a dud. Unplayable.
                        Shameless money grab.
