Here is a partial Tom Waits discography. It has all the main
releases. At least two compendiums were done by Asylum. Neither one
contained any extra cuts, so I believe this is a complete list of
the cuts released on albums under Tom Waits' name. Whether I took
the info from CD or record is indicated. There are also instances
where he has one cut on someone else's album, also noted. 

There may be things I am missing. If so, please let me know.

I know Tom Waits has at least one cut on these three albums:

Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weil
A&M Records 5104 (produced by Hal Wilner)

Hal Wilner's Thelonius Monk compendium

Just Say Mao (Just Say Yes Vol 3)
Sire Records 25947

The upcoming Wilner compendium on Mingus

I also have on VCR tape 2-3 appearances on David Letterman in which
he performs works from either Swordfishtrombone, Rain Dogs, or
Frank's Wild Years.

Noteworthy covers are Downtown Train by Rod Stewart and Jersey Girl
by Bruce Springsteen.

Some other time when I have time I will type in all the artists who
appear on these albums, unless someone else wants to do this.
