If your a T. Waits completeist its a must, if you're just a casual fan it might not be what you want. I don't own it, but yes, the album is full of songs that just didn't make it onto his recent albums. For whatever reason. There are kind of love songs, probobly piano balledy stuff, there are rocking songs, electric guitar heavy stuff, and there there's the more odder stuff, the spoken word pieces and just the odder songs. As a Waits fan this stuff does sound really good. For I haven't been disappointed with any of his albums, but if you're just a casual fan of his, it may be too lengthy and too pricey.
