Europe“Tom Waits wrote this score for the German theatre piece 'The Black Rider' by Robert Wilson. Performance of the play was done by the Thalia Theater, Hamburg. Album includes a printed inner sleeve with lyrics, credits, some background info on the production by Tom Waits and additional artwork. The black rim Text on the labels is barely visible. You need to take a really close look (or take a picture and lighten it up) to see it.”

“Pirated repress of the 1999 bootleg on black vinyl. The cover print appears to be much more blurry compared to a genuine 1999 release. Pressed from the same stampers (matrix numbers are exactly the same). Most obvious difference are the printed labels. Since first copies of this exact release appeared on eBay in April 2010 it was probably pressed in 2009 or early 2010 most likely in a central European country.”

United Kingdom“There are no official re-issues of this record. This bootleg pretends to be on Island Records UK. With the original copies, the record itself came in a picture sleeve, but with the fake pressing the picture sleeve is just a flat insert, and the record comes in a plain white sleeve. The matrix is different on this bootleg press. And the sound quality is much worse. The cover is glossier and the writings on the back are blurrier than the original. The label on the record is black, while on the original it's blue.”

United States“This album contains songs Tom Waits wrote and performed for the stage production of The Black Rider directed by Robert Wilson and written by William Burroughs. The Black Rider tells an updated version of a 19th century story of a clerk who makes a Faustian contract with the Devil, accepting magic bullets to win the hand of his beloved in a shooting contest. Wilson's vivid images paid homage to German expressionism, Waits performed a shotgun marriage between Tin Pan Alley and burlesque horror music, while Burroughs' politically acute librettos gave unique insight into the mind of a character whose actions lead to tragic consequences. Performance of the play was done by The Talia Theatre Of Hamburg. Album recorded at Prairie Sun Recording Studios, Cotati, California and Music Factory, Hamburg, Germany. This version has the code "BK02" printed at the bottom of the picture on the back panel between "All Rights Reserved." and "314-518 559-2"”
