The Old Grey Whistle Test

thLa BBC ha lanzado recientemente este triple DVD en el que recopila algunos (muchos) de los mejores momentos de los dieciséis años de historia del programa musical The Old Grey Whistle Test (1971-1987). Se trata en realidad de una reedición de los dos primeros volúmenes, ya publicados anteriormente, junto a un tercer DVD inédito hasta ahora.

El primer DVD incluye esta grabación de Tom Traubert's Blues. Parece que en el disco viene fechada en 1977, pero The Tom Waits Supplement dice que es de mayo del 76. Y yo me creo mucho más al Tom Waits Supplement que a la BBC, dónde va usted a parar.
