Edited 2 days agoFantastic pressing. Will need to crank up the volume just a little, but is to be expected with fitting over 25 minutes of music on each side. Wide, spacious soundstage and great instrument separation. Tom's vocals are incredible but it's the percussion that is the star here on this pressing. I see some reviews mentioning a skip on 'Blind Love' but my variant 1 copy has no issue there (or anywhere). A sublime pressing. -
My copy (ILPS 9803 A - 1U - 1 - 1 - 0 GRAEME/ILPS 9803 B -1U - 1 - 1 - X1) has the same problem reported in the Sound Clinic pressing, one skip on Blind Love

Being reissued the fall of 2023 - along with all of the other Island releases. Yes, that includes Bone Machine too!!!!

I seem to have a variant that matches the 1985 Greek pressing here https://www.discogs.sitioby.com/Tom-Waits-Rain-Dogs/release/3303067 in of runout, but it's on the UK label. It also has the slight blemish just above the ear of the guy in the photo which I also only see on the Greek cover. I have no doubt this is a genuine copy, it's just not listed here. Anyone else have this?
