Edycja kolekcjonerska, limitowana - kartonik mini LP

It was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' third release, Damn the Torpedoes, that catapulted Petty and company into the first rank of American rock acts. It's not hard to understand why. With a slate of driving songs destined to become FM staples ("Refugee," "Here Comes My Girl," "Even the Losers," "Don't Do Me Like That"), it's an album that plays much like half a greatest-hits collection. Fusing a rootsy sensibility heavy with Dylan and Byrds affectations with his own pop instincts (honed by early stints with Mudcrutch and Dwight Twilley) and coupling them with one of rock's most consistently underrated powerhouses, the Heartbreakers, Petty's throwback traditionalism oddly found him riding the crest of the new wave in the late '70s. This deluxe set includes 9 bonus tracks including 7 unreleased gems. studio tracks as well as 3 exclusive live tracks: Nowhere & Surrender [original version], Refugee (alternate take), plus a demo and live tracks), all available for the first time. Newly remastered from the original analog tapes, this vinyl release showcases Damn the Torpedoes in it’s purest form. A must for Tom Petty fans and audiophile collectors! Damn The Torpedoes was originally released in October 1979, produced by Jimmy Lovine and recorded at Sound City in Van Nuys, CA and Cherokee Studios in Hollywood. The critically acclaimed album was also a commercial success and proved to be the band's breakthrough album yielding such hits as "Refugee" and "Don't Do Me Like That". Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers released their debut album in 1976. Since that time they have sold more than 50 million records and earned a reputation as being among the most successful and exciting touring acts in the business. Between the Heartbreakers' recordings and his solo work, Tom Petty has received 18 Grammy nominations. Honored with lifetime achievement awards including Billboard's Century Award, MTV's Video Vanguard Award, and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Tom Petty, with the Heartbreakers at his side, has achieved the status of legend among his fellow musicians and listeners worldwide. "The louder you crank this the better it gets! There's not a digital recording made that can come close to the magnificently open, airy and extended top end of this recording..."Damn the Torpedoes" captures the essence of American rock and TP and the Heartbreakers at a young peak. The album has aged extremely well and has never sounded as good as this reissue." - Michael Fremer, www.musicangle.com, Music 9/10, Sound 10/10 "...And if instantly recognizable songs such as "Refugee," "Here Comes My Girl," "Even the Losers," and "Don't Do Me Like That" weren't already enough, Damn the Torpedoes has just been given a deserved upgrade, with this deluxe edition from ORG adding nine bonus tracks (seven previously unreleased) and phenomenal mastering from the original analog master tapes done at Bernie Grundman Studios. It's also pressed at Pallas in Germany, arguably the best vinyl plant in the world. This is not to be missed." - Steve Hoffman
