The grain on this print is perfect for the era—you can almost smell the stale smoke and whiskey in that NYC studio. It’s a raw slice of 1976, and the outtakes feel more alive than the final cover ever did.

The grain and muted tones in this NYC outtake really capture the gritty mood of that Small Change session. Frame arrived pristine, and it's the kind of shot that makes you stop and stare at the details in his expression.

You can almost hear the whiskey and late-night piano through the frame—the outtakes capture a looser, more candid Tom than the album cover ever showed. The print's dark, smoky tones really sell that 1976 NYC mood, and the detail holds up beautifully up close.
