Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers fifth album ‘Long After Dark’ is getting the expanded treatment. A video of ‘Straight Into Darkness’ from a French TV show has been used against Record Plant 1982 footage as a preview to the release.
This expanded reissue features 12 unreleased songs, including 7 that were lost in the debate over the album’s original direction. Notable highlights include Tom’s version of “Never Be You”—which was a #1 country hit for Rosanne Cash —“Don’t Make Me Walk the Line,” and an up-tempo version of “Ways To Be Wicked,” which was previously covered by Margo Price with Mike Campbell for ‘Petty Country’.
Many of the additional tracks are taken from 1982-83 French TV sessions, including acoustic gems, “Turning Point” and the The Everly Brothers influenced “Keeping Me Alive.”
‘Long After Dark’ will be available from 18 October 2024.
