TOM WAITS – Frank’s Wild Years (2023 Remaster) – LP – Gatefold Vinyl

LP- Black Vinylhoused in a Gatefold Sleeve (2023 Remaster).

The third part of TomWaits‘ trilogy (with Swordfishtrombones and Rain Dogs) became his first stage production as we follow Frank from burning down his house to almost hitting the big time. Marvellously inventive songs that mix a myriad of styles, rumba, romantic ballads, European folk, twisted show tunes, and demented jazz. Features ‘Innocent When You Dream‘, ‘Hang on St Christopher‘, ‘Yesterday is Here‘ etc.
