2010, Manifesto Records
VINYL FORMAT. On 180 gram vinyl! The second volume of all-exclusive versions of recordings from 1971-1972, including four tracks that were never re-recorded for official Waits albums. A must-have for any Waits vinyl collector!
'Like its predecessor, The Early Years Vol. 2 consists of demos recorded by Tom Waits in 1971, two years before he released his debut album, Closing Time. "Hope I Don't Fall in Love With You," "Ol' 55," "Grapefruit Moon," and "Old Shoes" later turned up on that album, while "Shiver Me Timbers," "Diamonds on My Windshield," and "Please Call Me Baby" appeared on Waits' second album, The Heart of Saturday Night, in 1974 . . . Waits fans will enjoy hearing, for example, "Ol' 55" performed in a higher key and with an acoustic guitar backing.' - All Music Guide
