• Track Listing

Petty’s Top 10, triple-platinum seller from ’94, produced by Rick Rubin, "Wildflowers," returns on 2 CDs or triple vinyl in remastered form, expanded via "All the Rest": the 10 songs recorded during the album sessions but left off "Wildflowers"—five of which are previously unreleased. Hear that, Petty fans?: every edition here introduces five "Wildflowers"-era Petty songs that have never been heard before! Go deluxe to also hear 24 unreleased versions, three unreleased songs and two that were distributed to fan-club members only. Those deluxe-edition tracks derive from home recordings (versions of the hits "You Don’t Know How It Feels" and "A Higher Place" plus "California," "Wildflowers," "Wake Up Time," "To Find a Friend," "Confusion Wheel" and more) and live performances (of his hits "Cabin down Below," "You Wreck Me" and "You Don’t Know How It Feels" plus "Walls," "Honey Bee," "Girl on LSD," "House in the Woods" and more). Those live recordings take us from 1995 all the way to 2017 (what a magnificent unit Tom and his Heartbreakers were). The 5-disc super deluxe version was previously only available via Petty’s official website, but is now available at retail. That set adds a 5th disc to the deluxe box including 16 alternate versions of the songs on "Wildflowers." A lot of love went into these releases; Tom’s wife and daughters curated them, and the deluxe editions feature an introduction by Rick Rubin and (in the case of the vinyl deluxe editions) a David Fricke essay and complete lyrics!
