Digitally remastered by Joe Gaswirt (OceanView Mastering, Los Angeles, California).
Neatly fitting in between 1993`s GREATEST HITS and the 5-CD PLAYBACK box set that came out two years later, this 34-track collection is a chronological tour of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers` MCA Records material. The consistent quality found throughout this two-CD set that`s bookended by the sinister-sounding "Breakdown" and chiming "Surrender"(a song Petty wrote in the `70s but didn`t get around to recording until August 2000) boggles the mind.
Tight playing and a palpable sense of passion from the four-piece Heartbreakers transform songs like "Even the Losers", "Rebels" and "Mary Jane`s Last Dance" into rock & roll manna. Elsewhere, this Floridian singer-songwriter`s sharp eye for pop culture ("Jammin` Me") and storytelling mastery ("Into the Great Wide Open," "Two Gunslingers") become pleasantly recurring characteristics. The inclusion of a scorching live version of the Byrds` "So You Wanna Be a Rock `N` Roll Star" show Petty and company to be as potent on stage as in the studio. By the end of this musical tour it`s hard to argue with the lofty statement Cameron Crowe makes in his liner notes calling Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers "...the greatest and most consistent American band of the last twenty-five years..."

    Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

    NDNMOM from WISCONSIN, Apr 28, 2008

    If you like Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, there is no way you wont enjoy this CD. It is a great roadtrip CD. The cheapest I found this cd in stores was $19.99. Great price on overstock.

    Great CD

    daffodil49 from Portland, Oregon, Apr 12, 2008

    For anyone who is a Tom Petty fan I would recommend this CD. Has all greatest hits and more. Arrived much sooner than I had expected which was great as one of the two I ordered was a gift and wasn't sure it would arrive in time. Great value.
