Editorial Reviews
Rolling Stone 1979
"the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album we have all been waiting for."
Product Description
All formats of the Deluxe Edition will come with nine additional bonus tracks not included on the original album. Seven of these tracks are previously unreleased including two studio tracks, "Nowhere" and "Surrender," both written by Tom Petty and recorded and completed during the Damn The Torpedoes sessions. The never-before-heard "Nowhere" was thought to have been lost in 1979 when the tape boxes were being moved daily to avoid the possibility that court bailiffs would claim them as part of Petty's assets in the lawsuit at the time. Recording engineer Ryan Ulyate found the song recently while he was listening to tapes searching for alternate versions of songs to be included on the current release. The original 1979 recording of "Surrender" is also included on the bonus disc. "Surrender" was a mainstay of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' concert setlists for many years although this original studio version recorded for Damn The Torpedoes, which includes Stan Lynch on drums, never saw the light of day until now. Also included on the bonus disc is an original demo for the B-side "Casa Dega" and an alternate take of "Refugee" as well as a trio of live performances at London's Hammersmith Odeon (March 6, 1980), including "Don't Do Me Like That," the first hit single from the album.
Digitally remastered from the original analog master tapes, all formats of Damn The Torpedoes - Deluxe Edition also feature liner notes by noted rock journalist/author David Fricke, rare photos, and lyrics to each track. The vinyl edition of Damn The Torpedoes - Deluxe Edition will be released by ORG MUSIC on two 180 gram LPs mastered for vinyl from the original analog master tapes at Bernie Grundman Studios and pressed by Pallas in Germany. The Blu-ray version of the album will be released on a high-resolution audio Blu-ray disc, featuring the original stereo mix and new 5.1 surround sound mix. The 24-bit 96K audio on the Blu-ray disc contains 256 times more resolution than a CD, providing greater detail and reproducing the music's full dynamic range, from the softest to the loudest sounds. As a bonus the Blu-ray disc also includes the original music videos for "Here Comes My Girl" and "Refugee."
The first 15,000 copies of the vinyl and Blu-ray editions include a free download of the entire album in one of three high quality digital formats (320k MP3, 24/96 FLAC, or Apple Lossless), redeemable until November 9, 2011.

THE BAND'S BEST EARLY ALBUM-STIL A CLASSIC,
By
This review is from: Damn The Torpedoes [Deluxe Edition] (Audio CD)
Two discs 36, 30 minutes each approximately, a bit short on playing time. The sound, digitally remastered, is clean and fairly crisp without sounding harsh. The packaging is the same as most of the other "Deluxe Editions" that have been released. The booklet has previously unseen photos of the band and information on Petty and the music. This album is also available both as a single disc of the original album, and in a Blue-ray Audio edition.
"Damn The Torpedoes" is, arguably, the finest early album by Petty and his band. The songs "Don't Do Me Like That" and "Refugee", were all over the radio, in people's cars, and blasting out of people's living rooms. And then to have songs like "Here Comes My Girl" and "Even The Losers" on top of it-well, Petty and the band don't get much better. With Petty's, at times, Dylan-like vocal mannerisms and sound, that chiming electric 12 string filling in all the empty spaces, and Mike Campbell's straightforward rock 'n' roll guitar for added punch, their sound was tough. Not to mention the rhythm section-while holding everything together they simultaneously push things along, and make it seem effortless, this is a real rock 'n' roll band. This album improved on their first two-the songs, some from Petty's former group MUDCRUTCH,, and some new, had a cohesiveness and a toughness that sounded both modern and looked back to the rootsy sound of Dylan/BYRDS/British Invasion/garage rock. Petty's writing was lean and seemingly simple, yet the lyrics ranged from tough rockers ("Refugee"), to ballads ("Louisianna Rain"), and everything in between. Besides the identifiable sound of the band, all these songs had passion-both in the lyrics and in the bands performance. The nine "new" songs do help somewhat in painting a broader, deeper picture of Petty and his band during this time. Right here I have to admit that Stan Lynch is still my favorite "Heartbreakers" drummer, and the song "Surrender", recorded for the album but not used, has that certain drum sound only Lynch seemed to produce. The alternate of "Refugee" is nice but not anything really new (unless you're a collector), and the demo of B side single "Casa Dega" is nice to have but not essential to the overall sound and feel of the album. The three live tracks are good-speaking for myself I would like to hear more live recordings, both in the studio and in concert. The live tracks (from London in 1980) follow the originals fairly closely, but are great to have nonetheless, especially "Don't Do Me Like That". As I wrote earlier, this is a pivotal TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS album. If not the bands greatest single work, it's certainly one of them. The remastered sound is good and the extra tracks are worthwhile. My only (selfish) complaint is that there's room on this edition for much more music, no doubt still languishing in the vault. But for those who know this album-you can't have to much of a good thing. If you haven't heard this album, this is a good look at what Petty and his band are all about-simple, straightforward, unadorned rock 'n' roll. Oh, yes, it still sounds good slightly loud. Enjoy.
