some of you Tom Petty fans might want to take a listen to Strippers Union's The Undertaking. It came out today. You can stream 9 tracks, but the only way to hear all 18 is to buy the limited vinyl (signed certificate from the band).
It's not really my thing, but I noticed a definite Petty feel to the album. I could be wrong. Don't listen to Petty much. But that popped into my head. Maybe it's the vocals. I don't know. But check it out.
Buying Hi-Res digital files for this release has been frustrating. The only way to get all 5 discs in Hi-Res was to buy the $150 5CD set from tompetty.com and then download the files with the link they sent. I first bought the HDtracks 4CD Hi-Res version, then I asked for and received the 5CD box set (which is really nice, I'll give them that...but why would you listen to CDs when you have the Hi-Res files?) for Christmas. I finally got a Hi-Res version of Finding Wallflowers. Then they announce a day before February ends that the 5CD set would only be available through the end of February. And today we found out why. Offering a digital version of it for just $12. I can imagine the people who bought the 9LP sets feel the same way.
Why do I feel like I need this? Explain almighty influencers of my empty brain and packed lp cabinet.
Well, I originally only ordered the 3 disc CD set and didn't have the cash to spring for the mega 9 disc set. I love this record and artists that share content like this. Its about as all encompassing a look at this time period of Tom's work as you can get and gets me something I wanted without breaking the bank. I mean, $37.00 shipped on gold wax? Easy decision.
I wanted Wildflowers & All the Rest, Finding Wildflowers, and the live recordings. I like demos out of curiosity, but I rarely listen to them more than once or twice.

The live recordings are the best part of the set! Whoever does their live stuff is amazing. Anthology, and American Treasure are some of the best live artist recordings you'll ever find.
I just snagged the 3lp. Only done digital so far but this stuff really makes you appreciate the breadth of his greatness. First handful of songs are hits right out of the gate and past that you have basically 2 albums worth of material at the same level but with more of an album track feel without such obvious hooks. I find a lot of his albums can be placed into their era but the Wildflowers material is simply timeless.
Not sure I need demos on vinyl but could be fun to hear.

I feel bad for people who shelled out for the 9 disc super deluxe and now this gets announced. I guess that was the only way to get the 180 gram vinyl. I bought the 7 LP because I wanted to make sure I had the Live stuff, but now Ill have everything for $30 more instead of $75 more, and on gold vinyl. Win win.

Yup, I've got mixed feeling about this release having previously sprung for the 9LP d-lux set, specifically for the two records w/ the "alternative versions." That said, this particular collection of songs is absolute gold. The first time I spun them I was transported back in time to when Wildflowers was first released...the world felt a little more right simply by listening to these "new" songs for the first time. In those same moments is also occurred to me what a shame it was that they were a limited release and wouldn't find a wider release to Petty fans who'd cherish them like I was doing. Glad they're getting a proper release...these songs were meant to be heard
It's crazy. One of My Covid19 missions was to complete my collection of Tom Petty albums, but they keep coming out.. lol. Excited to hear this new one.

Great album…only really started listening to it after reading about it in the thread here. Up until now the only Petty album I have is a greatest hits collection. Wildflowers awesome! Loving it!

As the OP of this thread, I really appreciate reading this. Cheers to new music discoveries!
The deluxe version of Wildflowers and all the rest has 54 tracks. I’m listening on Apple Music tonight. I love that I can listen to everything before I buy a hard copy.

I'm very much looking forward to it but I'll wait until I can watch it at home. I somewhat doubt it'll play at a local theatre anyways.
was about a reissue?
