Tom Petty has enjoyed a great life of Rock and Roll. For the rest of us, we are still saddened by his unfortunate passing back in 2017. With his band, The Heartbreakers, Tom Petty left behind a wealth of excellent music for fans of all kinds. (For me, I’m a fan up through Damn The Torpedoes, after which, admittedly, I became somewhat sluggish the rest of the way for his subsequent albums. (Just personal taste…I can still see the brilliance of his work regardless of whether I like it or not.)

On September 28, Reprise Records will issue a 4CD career celebration collection of Tom Petty outtakes, alternate tracks, and live recordings from his band efforts, his solo works, and from Mudcrutch. The collection is  titled An American Treasure.

The collection will be made available on 4CD, a truncated 26-track 2CD, DD, and 6LP packages. The 4CD set is planned for a standard package with 52-page book, and a Super Deluxe package with an expanded 84-page, hardbound book, and will feature a lithograph of the cover.
