Each of the albums is separately arranged and sub-titled ['Brawlers', 'Bawlers' and 'Bastards'] to encapsulate the full range of Waits' nomadic scope of musical styles. Complete with a bonus LP featuring 6 non-CD recordings, the set is superbly presented in a beautiful sealed & stickered hardbound 13" x 13" box complete with a 32-page book featuring lyrics and photos)
