P49750015. Source: from the cover of "Music World" magazine. June, 1973. "Tom Waits- Thursday Afternoon, Sober as a Judge" written by Jeff Walker. Date: early 1973. Credits: photography by Kim Gottlieb. Barney Hoskyns (2009): "That summer Waits was interviewed by Jeff Walker for the free magazine Music World. "He was so open." Walker recalls, "We talked about music and jazz and beat poetry. He picked up a trumpet and played a little riff on that. We loved him. "Waits, says Walker was smarting from a tattoo he'd just had done in a downtown parlour. "Thursday afternoon, sober as a judge," he said of the heart and flowers design. "And yes, it hurts." As Jeff and his photographer girlfriend Kim Gottlieb drove home to Laurel Canyon, they decided to make Waits the cover star of the June issue. "Because we were a free magazine, we didn't have to put somebody well known on the cover," says Gottlieb. "We could afford to take somebody that not too many people knew and put them on the cover." Adds Walker, "We went away and said to ourselves, 'This is going to be an important record and this guy's going to be an important artist.' You felt really privileged to be meeting him." Walker saw Waits' boho¬ beatnik act as a conscious assertion of identity. "It seemed to me this was all very deliberate, pushing the boundaries and genres that he had come out of," he says. "But he was fairly forthcoming. He wasn't holding back or mysterious." (Source: Jeff Walker interview March 15, 2007 as quoted in “Lowside Of The Road: A Life Of Tom Waits" by Barney Hoskyns.

Credits: photography by Matt Kramer: "...I took this photo in 1974 or '75 at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. I was pretty young and dumb at the time; I didn't include a loss/damage clause in my contract when I gave the strip of six negatives to Cal Shenkel, the art director on the project. When I asked for my negatives back, Cal was fairly casual in telling me that he couldn't find them. That was a harsh lesson to learn. In 2008, a friend directed me to eBay; my proof sheets from that night were on auction - I bought my proof sheets back..."
