    Edited 3 years ago
    All stamped runouts. No etchings like Variant 1. Otherwise this is the European version of Tom Waits - Closing Time. So it's most probably a 1981 pressing.
    • BlueNoteBlackCat's avatar
      My copy has no etchings on either side, and the label's misprinted on the side of the jacket as AS 52 252 (6E-295), which is a release of Heart Attack and Vine. Everything else is the same, including the misprinted B6 "Losing Time". Is this the same release?
