    I really wanted the 7lp but being well over 200 CDN$ with tax I couldn't bring myself to buy it.  Then Amazon listed a warehouse deal on one for $135 cdn.  Listed it as 5% damage, but I wasn't really concern if the packing is scuffed a little, I just want to spin the records.  Wife bought it for me for xmas.. looking forward to spinning it :)

    Awesome! Great Deal.
  • Just noticed in my 3LP set that the Side 3 label is printed twice, on both side 3 and side 4. Anyone else have this issue? Not a big deal just wondered if it was a recurring misprint.

    I had a flaw on my LP 1 slab that affected playback (a piece of glue or paper was stuck to the first track of both sides), and they replaced it.

    If it's driving you crazy, shoot them a message. They'll likely replace that LP2 for you. They may even let you keep your variant.

    Probably too late now after so long. It doesn’t bother me at all, I’ve played it like ten times and never noticed - and I might have the only misprint version! 😂 Glad you got yours sorted, that’s a much more annoying issue!

    I contacted them in December, and I preordered my copy. So I don't know if it's too late.

    Nevertheless, enjoy the hell out of your possible 1/1!

    Wildflowers was my favourite Tom Petty album. It had been for years.  Probably since the first time I listened to it (Bought it with a gift card my aunt gave me for a local music store.   I didn't really know other people felt the same way until a few years back.   Then to find out there's a whole 2nd half to the album.  How luck are we?    Been playing the shit out of All the Rest.

    Last time I saw Tom Petty play was at the Gorge in 2015 (maybe 2014?).   I really regret not going to the last tour.  Wildflowers is one of my favourite songs and he brought it out that tour...... sigh....
  • Must admit I totally missed this the first time around, I had an image of Tom Petty that for some reason put me off ever checking his stuff out - maybe just not as crazy popular in the UK? Picking up the album (based on the posts in this thread!) and listening to all the extras, home recordings and live show through the end of last year was one of my 2020 highlights.

    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.

    Seems to be the plan. I was so close to buying the super-deluxe. I wonder if they'll do a separate release for the live tracks?

    I bought the 7lp box. The live tracks are awesome. After buying it, I regretted not getting the 9lp, so this was a no brainer for me.

    I also bought the 7lp box.  Just when I thought I was out they suck me back in :)

    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.
