Tom Petty - Damn The Torpedoes [Deluxe] - Vinyl/Blu-ray/2CD 11/09*

Thanks ! Threw it on my Amazon wish list. Can't wait for the details to unfold.

 

There was an article in Sound & Vision I believe that talked about releasing it in 5.1

Let's hope!!!

 

I'm guessing this won't include 5.1. That will probably be a Blu-Ray release.

 

We'll probably get a mostly complete live show on disc two. Hope this lives up to its potential.

 

With all the Live TP released on the box set I won't be looking foward to a Deluxe Edition that has a 2nd disc of live tracks.
I always prefer a 2nd disc of unreleased studio tracks,demos.....etc!!!!!

Ryan Ulyate (Tom's recording engineer) is definitely working on a 5.1 of "Damn The Torpedoes" for Blu Ray per Tom Petty--no release date given.

 

The folks in this thread - http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=170997

should probably be thanked.

They might have been responsible for this thing!

I especially enjoy the lack of foresight in this post - http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showpost.php?p=4087219&postcount=2

 

I've heard Petty say a couple of times that there was nothing left over from the DTT sessions. And remember there are only 9 tracks on the LP.

I would love to hear a complete or near-complete live set from this era, so long as it's not the Hammersmith set (again), that has widely circulated amongst collectors for decades, and which has been drawn upon for PUTPlantation and, heavily, for the Live Anthology.

Perhaps unearthing those live tapes (they mixed hundreds of songs that did not make the cut) has made them think about a reissue campaign with a contemporaneous live set for each album. That would be spectacular (or should that be auracular) but probably wishful thinking. Hard Promises would be the prize: no good quality recordings circulate from this era, and the selections on the Live Anthology are tantalizing...

Incidentally, I was watching the Runnnin Down a Dream doc again last week with a friend who had not seen it before. I really noticed this time the 5.1 mix on the music, whether it was upfront for live and studio footage, or just playing in the background. It sounds amazing. According to the credits, Ryan Ulyate was the man behind the board on the film. Judging from that, and the MOJO mix, a 5.1 Torpedoes will be stunning.

 

I've not heard anything from Damn The Torpedoes, but if it's anything like as good as Mojo I'll definitely be getting it on blu ray.

 

Really? Not even Refugee?!?

 

I'll be up for this.

A possible extra disk could be a DVD of the BBC Rock Goes to College they recorded in 1980. They repeated it on BBC4 over the Christmas holidays and i'll still got it on my SkyPlus box.

Set List:

Shadow Of A Doubt
Anything That’s Rock And Roll
Even The Losers
Here Comes My Girl
I Need To Know
Luna
Stories We Could Tell
Refugee
Breakdown
American Girl

Total Running Time: 45 Min.

 

So, how the hell did you manage that?

 

Well, it's only been 31 years

 

That would work for me.

 

My thought exactly, & I have never NOT bought a new Tom Petty release.

If it's a DVD however, I might be tempted.

 

It's a great show. Best moment is when he tells the audience to "SHUT UP" at the start of Luna! Would still prefer a new live set audio. But then I'm a b***leg collector, so I am going to be biased on this point.

 

As long as this thing isn;t brickwalled to death - I'm in. The BD/FLAC mix of Mojo is stunning - and a breath of fresh air in today's super hyped compressed reissue market.

 

+ 1

 

I'm in.

 

Apparently the flier in the box with the Torpedoes classic albums documentary dvd says, "Coming October 2010 2-CD DELUXE Edition with bonus tracks", which I guess means that the deluxe will be a CD set, not simply a reissue on CD and Blu-ray in one package. I don't think it would make sense to do this at this stage, anyway: I don't think BD has enough market penetration, or whatever. Unless the bonus tracks are tacked on to the end of the CD.

I am still not convinced they have much to offer in terms of studio recordings, because Petty is clear that nothing was left over from those sessions, and the few songs that were used as B-sides from around that period are all on the Playback box. I am hoping they are going to put out a full(-ish) live set: they certainly mixed far more than they used for the live box. Just hope it's something other than the Hammersmith Odeon show.

 

I am thinking they may have uncovered a good show from this era making that live Boxed set last year ?? if that's the case & the price is right , i'm in .

 

As am I. BIG TIME!!

 

Yeah. They even revived "Don't Do Me Like That"!

Is it possible there are many cool/significantly different demos/alternate takes from the sessions, and pre-production? The album is so heavily polished because of Jimmy Iovine. It might be neat to have Petty solo acoustic takes...

 

Even if there aren't any true outtakes from these sessions, I'm sure there must be demos, rehearsal takes, alternate versions, etc. Still, I'm betting that disc two will contain live recordings.
