    I just got an email back from SSD confirming this is form the original batch pressed. Warner Bros found some stock that did not make it out originally.

    Email form SSD ...

    "Thank you for reaching out! A lot of people have been asking about this - you're not the only one. When we were given the info from Warner Brothers to put this Tom Petty box set back up for sale, we were told that they had found a bit of stock in their warehouses that had previously been lost.

    As a record collector myself, I can understand your concern here. We have received confirmation though from the record company that these are from the original pressing".

    I’ve never quite seen anything like this and I’m not sure what to make of it. Just thankful to own this now at a reasonable price.

    I've seen it. A few years back someone pretty much just discovered a crate of unsold original Day for Night Tragically Hip LPs in a back room somewhere. That record was going for about $400+ on ebay, sealed/mint, at the time, and even just finding one for sale at all was kind of an event. The band decided to just hand it over to a Canadian online record store that they liked for the original wholesale price, and I and a couple others on these boards managed to buy a copy for maybe $30CAD. It was one of the most exciting record collecting moments of my life. :lol:

    @PJ_Soul that would have been a great day for sure. I know how rare that one was at the time.

    No problem. I also went to Bullmoose as they were siting it was a re-press. They said it could in fact be Warner Brothers miscommunication to different retailers. So they could not confirm 100% what it actually is.

    Got the same reply from Soundstage guaranteeing it was an original copy.

    Terrible time for this to be released. Saving & paying stuff off. Ugh. I may sell some vinyl this weekend to make this happen.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    exactly. I don't see Amazon with any in stock or pre-sale.

    If they did I would assume its a re-press then.

    Damn, how many did they find?!?

    Actually I don't care.  I just want the vinyl.

    Ok wow, they must have just added it recently because it wasn't there the last few days.

    Now it makes me think twice about re-press vs original. Who knows.

    Bullmose stated 3000 copies were made available. I asked them if that was 500 (new old stock) added to the 2500 original run release or if that was an additional 3000 being issued now. No answer from them.

    having said that, amazons Product details state ...

    "2009 seven 180gm vinyl LP box set containing live recordings drawn from 30 years of live performances".

    Issue date: Nov 23 2009

    Nobody knows for sure as it sounds like all the distributors were given different information from WB. The fact that it appears so readily Avilable leads me to believe it is indeed a repress. I honestly don’t care, as all the runout info is identical and impossible to discern from the original pressing. My guess is since this was advertised as limited back in 2009, they don’t want to open themselves up for false advertising. Between Amazon, Music Direct, Soundstage Direct, Bullmoose, Elusive Disc, Rarewaves, etc. all selling these, I find it difficult to believe it’s just a warehouse find.

    As far as what Amazon lists under product description, I’ve seen at least 2 other sites completely contradict that. Who cares though? This is a great set and I’m happy to finally own it at a reasonable price.

    I agree with you, happy to get it in my collection.

    I am also thinking this is a re-print, and possible a fairly limited (3000) one as well. But who knows.

    Id just like to know the truth is all.

    also, amazons detail descriptions are really not that reliable I find.
