Description

The first release of Tom Petty music since his tragic passing in October 2017, the 60-track career-spanning An American Treasure box set unveils dozens of previously unreleased recordings, alternate versions of classic songs, rarities, historic live performances and deep cuts that spotlight the late great's remarkable depth and evolution as a revered and tremendously influential songwriter, recording artist and performer. Petty's daughter, Adria Petty, and his wife, Dana Petty, were the primary catalysts for the commission, creation and release of An American Treasure, a tribute and love letter pointing to the music in between the hits, and a strong musical portrait of the person they know in their hearts. Adria and Dana both serve as the project's executive Pproducers, and, together with Tom's bandmates of 45 years, Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, and his studio collaborator, Ryan Ulyate, curated the box set's track list from Petty's rich song catalog. Campbell, Tench and Ulyate also produced An American Treasure.

The creation of An American Treasure is a true labor of love, as Adria and Dana explain, "Everyone involved in this project chose each track with tremendous care and deep respect for the body of work Tom Petty created over the course of 40 years. He also accumulated a wealth of unreleased music in his vaults, and we have collectively uncovered one gem after another that will keep us all listening and discovering new facets of Tom's talent for many years to come. We can't wait to share with Tom's fans this musical portrait of an artist who deeply affected our culture and indelibly touched the lives of fans the world over."

The 6LP edition comes complete with a 48-page booklet containing a plethora of photographic and editorial elements including an essay by Nicholas Dawidoff. All newly released recordings on An American Treasure have been mixed by Ryan Ulyate from pristine transfers of the original studio multitrack masters. All 60 recordings have been re-mastered for this collection by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. The custom cover artwork for An American Treasure was created by prominent American artist Shepard Fairey from an image of Petty by renowned photographer Mark Seliger.
