Frank is a studio album by new wave group Squeeze, released in 1989.[6][7] The album sold poorly, and Squeeze was dropped by A&M Records while on tour.[6] Forced to take offers from different major labels for the first time in their career, the band soon signed with Reprise Records and began working on their next studio album, Play.

Frank peaked at number 58 in the UK Albums Chart.[8] It peaked at No. 113 on the Billboard 200.[9]
