Gatefold picture sleeve with original cover artwork, gold hype sticker & factory sealed. Recommended) Tracklisting: Five albums released by singer-songwriter Tom Waits for Island Records between 1983 and 1993 are being reissued. The first three include Swordfishtrombones (1983), Rain Dogs (1985) and Franks Wild Years (1987), releasing to stores on Sept. 1. Two more, Bone Machine (1992) and The Black Rider (1993) are releasing Oct. 6. The albums have been remastered in high-resolution 192kHz/24-bit audio from original sources � an original EQ'd 1/2" production master for Swordfishtrombones, and 1/2" flat master tapes for the rest. Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering serves as mastering engineer, and Alex Abrash at AA Mastering has cut the new vinyl lacquers. 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. The album divides the story neatly into two acts and although titled "un operachi romantic", there is no opera in Franks. There is a hilarious touch of operatic styling by Waits himself in the song "Temptation." His vocal character varies wildly throughout the work's 17 songs, and is no more impressive than when the gruff, growly singer turns to impeccable Sinatra-esque phrasing on the Vegas number, "Straight To The Top." While Franks featured a 14-member cast on stage, the album is all-Waits-yet suggests a multitude of characters by virtue of his chameleon vocals. The album is a startling group of lost dreams, bad dreams, dreams that might not even be dreams. The music is nightmarish, ethereal, beautiful. Think broken calliopes played by genius children, horns played at dawn in a graveyard, banjos leaking through practice room walls. Titles evoke Frank's dime-store Odyssey: "Straight To The Top," "Blow Wind Blow," "Temptation," "I'll Be Gone." NME ranked the work the No. 5 album of 1987. Newly remastered for the first time ever in high-resolution 192kHz/24-bit audio from the original �" 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. Available on 180-gram opaque gold vinyl.

Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering serves as mastering engineer, and Alex Abrash at AA Mastering has cut the new vinyl lacquers. Noted as Tom Waits' most critically acclaimed album, Rain Dogs follows the new musical path Waits had taken with Swordfishtrombones. Considered the middle of a de facto trilogy with Swordfishtrombones and Franks Wild Years, Rain Dogs is the first of Waits' albums to be written in New York, in a Lower Manhattan basement. A 53-minute, 19-track monster, Rain Dogs is a kind of mutant, late 20th century musical "Canterbury Tales" with a shape-shifting band. There are banjos and marimbas and bowed saw and parade drum and howling horns (and Keith Richards and Marc Ribot) on this rollicking, roughhewn opus � and Waits, using his voice in increasingly weird � and wild ways. The songs are stories, sagas, laments, breakdowns, character studies, comedies and cabaret numbers. There's the aching "Hang Down Your Head," and the moving anthem, "Downtown Train," which was covered by Patti Smith and Rod Stewart. Waits coined the term "rain dog," a reference to dogs who lose their way when touchstone scents are washed away in storms. Among the lost dogs on the album: gruff, wandering merchant marines ("Singapore"), an accordion player in a slaughterhouse ("Cemetery Polka"), a "jockey full of bourbon" (also the song title), an abandoned, withdrawn woman ("Time"), a "gun street girl," the old drunks and hustlers of Union Square, and even Waits, himself: Aboard a shipwreck train / Give my umbrella to the Rain Dogs / For I am a Rain Dog, too. . . Originally released in 1985 on Island Records, the album reissue is personally overseen by Tom Waits and his wife, 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. Rain Dogs includes tracks such as "Downtown Train," "Clap Hands" and "Jockey Full of Bourbon." Available on 180-gram black vinyl. Side One 1. Singapore 2. Clap Hands 3. Cemetery Polka 4.
