The Billboard Review
Originally reviewed for week ending 12/9/95
Six-CD retrospective of Tom Petty's first 20 years in recording contains highlights
of all his ABC and MCA studio albums--with and without the Heartbreakers--during
the period, plus B-sides, alternate versions of familiar songs, singles, and demos of
the Heartbreakers and its precursor, Mudcrutch. Besides offering ample evidence
of Petty's greatness as a composer, singer, and musician, 'Playback' traces the
artist's growth from his Florida bar band days to American rock icon status.
An in-depth essay by journalist Bill Flanagan provides insight into Petty's rags-to-riches
success and his collaborations with such prime movers as Stevie Nicks, Bob Dylan,
George Harrison, and Jeff Lynne. One of the top boxed sets of the year.
