TOM WAITS – Alice (Remastered) – LP – 180g Vinyl

LP – 180g Black Vinyl. Remastered by Waits/Brennan. Includes download code.

This album has been called Wait‘s long-lost masterpiece. Originally performed as an opera directed by Robert Wilson for Hamburg’s Thalia Theatre in 1992, but left unrecorded until 2001. The show ran for a year and a half using an unusual orchestra designed by Waits to underpin the songs co-written with his wife Kathleen Brennen. Rather than being directly based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, the Waits-Brennen Alice takes inspiration from feelings remembered and dreams recalled after reading the books. Released simultaneously with Blood Money.
