Most of the Island records are being remastered and reissued on vinyl later this year.

Edited one year agoThis DJ promo copy sounds so rich and warm. I have no other copies to compare this too but even for a DJ radio promo copy this album stands apart as crisp and clear. Great separation for the instruments and waits’ voice while gravelly and hoarse sits atop the music like a cherry atop a Sunday. If you’re looking for a version for your collection, I can’t think of a better sounding copy to reference. -
Hello my record writing
Matrix / Runout (Side A runout):106 205774 A-3
Matrix / Runout (Side B runout):107 DM 205774 B-3
but I can't find any release with these.
Made in but not included in data page
Any help?
Thank you -
Lots of technical comments re this album... so just to try to redress balance, this is one of my favourite albums. ‘Shore Leave’ is something special. The combination of Tom Waits’ voice with the dubbed out effects is magical.
