Post Description

"This is it: nine songs about devotion, combat and the justified reward at the end of every righteous fight, scored with "a stormy fullscale webwork of howling organs and glinting guitars, slung on one of the brawniest rhythm sections around," as Mikal Gilmore put it in the 1980 story that marked Petty's debut on the cover of Rolling Stone."—David Fricke, liner notes to Damn the Tornadoes [Deluxe Edition]

-Stunning 96kHz/24bit remastering
-Bonus disc of live recordings, demos, B-sides, and unreleased material
-Liner notes by legendary rock journalist David Fricke
-A booklet of rare photos and lyrics to each of the songs

One of the most highly acclaimed albums of the 1970s, Damn the Torpedoes remains a steadfast on plenty of "all time greatest" lists. Rolling Stone ranked it in their "500 greatest albums of all time" and MOJO placed it in their "70 from the 1970's" list. Widely regarded as the band's magnum opus, the album spent 7 weeks on Billboard's chart and yielded two massive singles: "Don't Do Me Like That" and "Refuge." At last, the album is given a much-deserved full reissue treatment, including 96kHz/24bit remastering and a bonus disc including previously unreleased studio material (including the gem "Nowhere"), two B-sides, demos, and three searing live tracks from a 1980 performance at London's Hammersmith Odeon. Even if you know every one of these iconic masterpieces by heart, to hear this stunning remaster/reissue is to experience one of rock & roll's all-time greatest albums for the first time.
