Sales
Sales were poor.

Is #164 on the charts and steady sales ever since (growing to be a classic and always available on the market) really a "poor" result for a Tom Waits record? I am not so sure. If there are no objections I will delete this sentence in a week or so. --Sangild 10:31, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

"16 Shells from a 30.6"?
I just reversed changes made to this title by an anonymous user. The changes were incorrect, but I can understand the user's confusion. 30.6 is not the correct rendering for .30-06. Furthermore, doing some research, I see some websites list the song as "16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six," as does the book in the 33 1/3 series, while others, like Amazon and the Island Records site, use "16 Shells from a 30.6." We need to clear this up. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive' 13:54, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * discogs.com shows "16 Shells From A Thirty-Ought-Six" in all of the original Island releases. Never appears as 'Aught', as in this article, though. I'll take Ought based on that. Zitss (talk) 14:43, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Genres
I started a discussion here of the genres on Tom Waits albums. I encourage all interested editors to participate. Thanks. ---  RepublicanJacobite  TheFortyFive 15:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Robots
The movie Robots uses a version of "Underground", but I can't find a reliable source for it. Can anyone else get one? Supernerd11 Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 05:12, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
