34 gems from 1976 - 2000, sequenced and remastered by Tom Petty with hits, solo tracks and tunes not included on 1993's ‘Greatest Hits’.
The most striking thing about this two-disc overview of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers is the powerful case it makes for its creators as the most consistent band of not only their era, but of all time.
Think of another rocker who can claim to have created a quarter-century of recordings that, when ranked on a 10-point scale, never dip below a solid 7?
‘Anthology’ serves up 34 selections, nearly every one an FM staple. From 1976's "Breakdown" through the collection's only new offering, 2000's "Surrender," this retrospective never flags.
