Asylum Years is the second "best of" compilation covering Tom Waits' Asylum Records years. The album retreads more than half of the track-listing of Anthology of Tom Waits.
While never officially released in the US during its initial run, the compilation is readily available on the iTunes Store since Anti- Records acquired the rights to Waits's Asylum catalog in 2017.
