The record
Title: Tom Waits - Franks Wild Years
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1987, Blues, Los Angeles, California 5/26
Matrix #: 90572 1
Condition: VG+ sounds great (TC) | Members: Tom W (49' - Alive)
Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Waits built much of his persona from barroom outsiders and damaged characters, but his own early grind came from low-paying club work and unstable road life.
- Studio Lore: Franks Wild Years grew from a stage play Waits created with Kathleen Brennan, making the album part theater piece, part crooked songbook.
- Media Narrative: By this era, Waits had fully escaped lounge-singer expectations, turning himself into a strange American narrator rather than a normal pop act.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
