Originally released in 1987 on Island Records, Franks Wild Years is Tom Waits' 10th studio album. Titled for a play of the same name and authored by Waits and his wife, Kathleen Brennan, Franks Wild Years was performed by Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 1986. Franks Wild Years is an iteration of the track "Frank's Wild Years" from Waits' 1983 album Swordfishtrombones.

Newly remastered for the first time ever from the original ½" flat master tape and personally overseen by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan. Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering under the guidance of Waits' longtime audio engineer, Karl Derfler. The album packaging has also been restored. Franks Wild Years includes tracks such as "Cold Cold Ground", "Way Down In The Hole" - versions of which were used as the theme music of HBO's series The Wire - and "Temptation".
