This Friday, September 28, Reprise Records releases the Tom Petty Box Set "AN AMERICAN TREASURE." The 60-track set includes dozens of newly discovered songs from the rock icon's vaults. Tom's daughter, Adria Petty, and his wife, Dana Petty, were the primary catalysts for the creation and release of "An American Treasure." The pair served as Executive Producers and, together with Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, assembled the track list.
Adria and Dana talked about the release: "Everyone involved in this project chose each track with tremendous care and deep respect for the body of work Tom created over the course of 40 years. He also accumulated a wealth of unreleased music in his vaults, and we have collectively uncovered one gem after another that will keep us all listening and discovering new facets of Tom's talent for many years to come."
The set unveils dozens of previously unreleased recordings, alternate versions of classic songs, rarities, historic live performances and deep tracks and is the first release of Tom Petty music since the artist's tragic passing in October 2017. To add to the celebration of this announcement, a newly redesigned website at www.TomPetty.com has been launched.
"An American Treasure" will be released in multiple formats:
* Deluxe Edition 4-CD set with all 60 tracks, plus a 52-page booklet with rare and previously unseen photographs of Tom, his bandmates, family and friends. The booklet also features detailed track-by-track liner notes by journalist Bud Scoppa.
* Super Deluxe Limited Edition 4-CD set with all 60 tracks and an 84-page hardbound book expanded from the Deluxe Edition to include many additional photographs and an essay by renowned author Nicholas Dawidoff. The special package also includes a newly-created lithograph of the cover artwork, as well as custom reproductions of Tom Petty's handwritten lyrics to four songs featured in this collection and a numbered certificate of authenticity.
* Vinyl Edition 6-LP set with all 60 tracks and a 48-page booklet containing all of the photographic and editorial elements found in the CD Deluxe Edition. This set also includes the Nicholas Dawidoff essay. This special Vinyl Edition will be released on Friday, November 23, but is available for pre-order now.
* Standard Edition 2-CD set with 26 tracks chosen from the Deluxe editions, as well as Bud Scoppa's detailed track-by-track liner notes.
