This year, Tom Petty's estate has been slowly trickling out previously unreleased material from a rumoured reissue of his seminal Wildflowers album. Today, all of the details of the release have been unveiled.
Called Wildflowers & All the Rest, the new reissue pieces together the original album alongside previously unreleased songs, demos, home recordings, live cut and alternate versions of the songs. The compilation was compiled by Petty's daughters Adria and Annakim and his wife Dana.
The album is set to arrive in myriad iterations, including a "Super Deluxe" version that includes written work from Rick Rubin, David Fricke and Jaan Uhelszki, the latter of which is a track-by-track breakdown of the album featuring quotes from those who worked on it.
The "Super Deluxe" version and an "Ultra Deluxe" version will both be available as 9xLP box sets. The "Super Deluxe" version can also be purchased as a 5xCD box. There are plenty of other options of the album available.
Wildflowers & All the Rest will arrive on October 16 via Warner. Listen to a home-recorded demo of "Wildflowers" below.
