Hear Previously Unreleased Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Songs From New Long After Dark Reissue
Earlier this year, the late Tom Petty’s estate announced plans for a deluxe reissue of Long After Dark, the album that Petty and his Heartbreakers released in 1982. The reissue includes a bonus disc of 12 bonus tracks, most of them previously unreleased, and it’s timed to the re-release of Cameron Crowe’s 1982 documentary Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party.
The deluxe reissue is out now, which means we get to hear all those unreleased Tom Petty songs. Many of the bonus-disc tracks are French TV versions of the songs that were already out there, and there are also a few songs that were recorded and released by people other than Tom Petty. There’s “Ways To Be Wicked,” which was covered by the country-rock band Lone Justice, and “Never Be You,” recorded by Lone Justice leader Maria McKee for the great 1984 movie Streets Of Fire. We also get the previously unheard songs “Don’t Make Me Walk The Line” and “One On One,” as well as a cover of the Troggs’ garage rock standard “Wild Thing.” Hear all those songs below.
The deluxe edition of Long After Dark is out now on Geffen/UMe.
