Tom Petty And The HeartbreakersInto The Great Wide Openon 180g LP

It’s been 40 years sinceTom Pettyand his extraordinary band,The Heartbreakers, unleashed their eponymous debut in 1976. In the subsequent decades, Petty – both as a solo artist and as leader of the band – has sold over 80 million records worldwide, earned 18 Grammy nods and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Petty’s musical integrity and craft, not to mention his seemingly effortless flair for rapturous hooks, have remained constant despite ever-shifting musical trends, and his multi-generational fan base continues to swell. In the words ofRolling Stone’sAlan Light, “The man’s consistency is pretty astounding.”

Following the sterling success ofTom Petty’s1989 solo debutFull Moon Fever, he and theHeartbreakersbrought in the album’s producerJeff Lynneof ELO fame to also helm their eighth full-length offeringInto The Great Wide Openin 1991. The highly stylized 12-track affair yielded the Petty evergreens “Learning To Fly” and “Into The Great Wide Open” (complete with a Johnny Depp-starring music video) and features Lynne on multiple instruments throughout as well as further guest appearances by fellow ELO bandmateRichard Tandyand The Byrds’Roger McGuinn.
