Dit is wat Tom Waits in een interview erover gezegd heeft:
This is difficult to find, have you heard this? It's a musical impression of the sinking of the Titanic. You hear a small chamber orchestra playing in the background, and then slowly it starts to go under water, while they play. It also has 'Jesus Blood' on it. I did a version of that with Gavin Bryars. I first heard it on my wife's birthday, at about two in the morning in the kitchen, and I taped it. For a long time I just had a little crummy cassette of this song, didn't know where it came from, it was on one of those Pacifica radio stations where you can play anything you want. This is really an interesting evening's music.
Hij refereerde echter wel aan een release uit 1975 van Point Music en niet deze uitgave. Of de verschillen groot zijn weet ik niet want die uit 1975 heb ik niet gehoord.
Origineel is het allemaal zeker, maar toch lukt het me niet om lang geboeid te blijven.
