An American Treasure, an 60-song collection of unreleased Tom Petty material (demos, alternate takes, unheard songs, so on) was just released a week ago. But today, a new expansive Petty release has been announced. This one, entitled The Best of Everything, is exactly what it sounds like: an expanded greatest hits of sorts.
The 38-track double album compiles the biggest and most beloved songs by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Tom Petty on his own, and his pre-Heartbreakers band Mudcrutch (which reunited in 2007 and released two albums in the ensuing decade). Notably, however, the collection also includes two unreleased tracks: an alternate take on the album’s title track (originally included on 1985’s Southern Accents) and “For Real.” The new version of “The Best of Everything” is out today.
A video for “Gainesville,” an unreleased Petty track from the recent An American Treasure collection, was released earlier this week. Check out the full track list for The Best of Everything (featuring many song names you will recognize) and listen to the unreleased title track below. The set will be available on CD and digitally on November 16, and on vinyl December 7.
