Tom Waits’ Franks Wild Years returns in a limited edition 180g vinyl record, newly remastered from the original ½” flat master tape. Overseen by Waits and Kathleen Brennan, and mastered by Chris Bellman under longtime engineer Karl Derfler’s guidance, this reissue captures the haunting charm and sonic grit of Waits’ tenth studio album.
- Originally released in 1987 and inspired by the Steppenwolf Theatre’s stage production of the same name
- Features classics like “Temptation,” “Straight To The Top,” and “Way Down In The Hole” — used in HBO’s The Wire
- Artfully restored packaging with authentic details
- Pressed on high-fidelity black vinyl for analog warmth
If you’re wondering how to maintain your 180g vinyl record to preserve quality, be sure to keep it stored upright, away from heat and sunlight, and clean with a carbon fiber brush between plays.
