Deluxe Edition 180-gram double LP featuring nine bonus tracks. Remastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tapes and pressed at Pallas in Germany.
It was Tom Petty and the Heartbreaks' 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 nine bonus tracks, including seven unreleased gems and three exclusive live tracks.
"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." Music = 9/11; Sound = 10/11 - Michael Fremer, musicangle.com
