Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Origins 1971-1978 (4Cd+Dvd+Bluray)

Fakta The Tom Petty Estate unveils a comprehensive new box set, Origins 1971-1978, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the band. Digging into the vaults, this collection traces the sonic formation of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in the white-hot ‘70s era, and features collaborations with legendary artists Al Kooper, Leon Russell, Jim Gordon, Emory Gordy and more, across country, folk, punk, reggae, rock and soul originals.

Origins 1971-1978 will be available in 2 configurations: a 5LP box set and a 4CD box set - each with Blu-ray and DVD. The centerpiece of the vinyl edition is an 88-page fanzine featuring liner notes by David Fricke and Bud Scoppa, track-by-track annotations from the original band, complete album credits for the first two albums and a trove of unearthed archival photos and memorabilia, alongside polaroids, postcards, collectibles and more.
At the heart of the collection is No Sleep Til L.A., which will be available as a stand-alone LP, CD and limited-edition Zoetrope. More than a rarities compilation, it is a 12-track document of Tom Petty becoming Tom Petty—tracing the years between Mudcrutch's earliest recordings and the formation of the Heartbreakers as he searched for the right players, the right sound and ultimately the right band.
