American Treasure is flat out amazing, but OP should start by listening to the studio stuff first. So you have some context for the live, alt take stuff later.

Whatever you start with, Damn the Torpedoes is certainly  a "must have".  It's one of the greatest American rock records ever made.

And I resurrected the post because I just wanted to share I’m in a real Tom Petty phase at the moment.

I keep getting drawn back to Southern Accents lately. Such a great album that doesn’t get as much love as Torpedoes or Wildflowers. 

Check out Traveling Wilburys as well if you haven’t already. Not exclusively TP, but his fingerprints are all over those two albums as well.

I am also continually drawn back to Something Good Coming off Mojo. Great deep cut that doesn’t get a lot of love. Mike Campbell does a stripped down version for a TP tribute that is haunting of you can find it.

It’s the second song in this clip: https://youtu.be/URr83yI-tQM

Can’t stop listening / streaming The Best of Everything - The Definitive Career Spanning Hits Collection. Such a great collection of songs. Just received my Wildflowers and All the Rest vinyl LP too.

You will like live anthology.  It’s the live version of the greatest hits album basically 

you can put those two albums in a playlist studio/live order for a lot of songs

huh.

try youtube as a complete album offering?

or the hard way is to screenshot the titles and show info and search out those you can on youtube with video or just audio.

Amazon music has it. Do you have prime?

Use a VPN if you have to, so you are in the US not Australia.  It’s a good option anytime anything is restricted based on location 

for iTunes you need a us card and address though. They don’t care where you actually live

I know right, No live anthology for the entire country?

Australia isn’t an open air prison any more, or perhaps it is

One thing I have been enjoying (first half) is the wildflowers documentary on you tube. Awesome, looking forward to watching the second half.

I will get this set into my iTunes and send you a Google Drive link to download it. You MUST own it! PM me your e-mail address and I’ll get working on that this week!

I’ve always found “You’re Gonna Get It!” to be a sleeper in the Tom Petty catalog, the deep cuts are fantastic. The album cover may be his worst though lol

I love Kiss My Amps 2, an RSD vinyl.

It originated as a Live Download for fan club members called Live 2013... then they shorted it to fit on the LP.   Such a good listen

Just also watch Damn the Torpedoes on the Greatest Albums series. Not as good as the Wildflowers documentary of course, but still really great to see and hear how an album gets recorded and put together. I’d love to see one of these for PJ!

Start with the first album and work your way through his discography. They’re all great.

Spent the afternoon listening to Wildflowers and all the rest on vinyl. Headphones on…glorious. Just love the overall presentation and layout of that release.
