View More By Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Our ReviewWith their third album, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers established themselves as one of the most important groups in ‘70s rock ‘n’ roll. The songwriting was Petty at his finest and the band received a key production from Jimmy Iovine, who kept the band’s toughness while readying them for FM radio. “Refugee” is the stone classic, a song so perfect that it nearly throws the entire album off balance. Except the follow-ups are the jangle-jungle of “Here Comes My Girl,” the down-but-not-out anthem, “Even the Losers,” and the pithy, dance-between-the-raindrops quickstep of “Don’t Do Me Like That.” Album cuts such as “Shadow of a Doubt (A Complex Kid)” and “Louisiana Rain” add bench depth. Guitarist Mike Campbell and organist Benmont Tench proved to be top-flight rockers who would make any band formidable, but with Petty’s sneer leading the way, the Heartbreakers were set for the future. The Deluxe Version includes live versions of “Shadow of a Doubt” and “Don’t Do Me Like That,” an early stripped-down version of “Refugee,” and two studio cuts, “Nowhere” and “Surrender,” recorded during the album’s sessions.

Customer ReviewsGreat music, bad packaging (3 stars)First a review of the product: If you are like most fans, you have purchased this album at least twice, maybe three times, and already own the songs (LP, tape, CD). The main interest for most of us will be the songs we have not heard before, which one has to pay $14.99 to get. Because Tom Petty, in my opinion, is one of the best musicians in rock history, I purchase all of his music instead of downloading it or copying it for free. I would g great record but not for 5x (3 stars) I fully agree with reviewer r-smith. I have bought this record at least 4x since it originally came out. cassette, LP, CD twice. I'm not going to purchase it 5x for four songs at $14.99. Thats where I draw the line. Pure Petty! (5 stars) Greatest record! Damn the Torpedoes deserves an extra star. The intro to "Even the Losers" inspired the name of my Normal Noises band. Every song rocks with intensity and pure melody. Even today, the drums jump out so incredibly solid. You really can feel the emotions of the band during this rough moment in their career. I always loved "Surrender" and I remember making my dad drive around Florida to find &
