Tom Petty Box Sets


Got the two new Tom Petty Box Sets and was wondering if anyone else out there has them and what you think of them.  I've been playing them for a couple of days and have to say being a Tom Petty fan it's great to have all these albums on 180 gram and thou the price for both Sets comes in at close to $500 you get 16 albums which comes to around $31 a LP. The albums sound great viny is quite, not as "Hot" as the Stones Mono set. If your a Tom Petty fan and can afford it this is a must have.

Thanks for the info.
My thought was digital transfer vs original analogue. I think that they may be sold separately also.  I may get a couple and go from there before I invest in the Box Set.  Don't get me wrong, I have a couple MFSL Gold CD's of there's which I am impressed with the sonics 

1st LP was originally released on Shelter Records in 1976. MCA recordings were not until 1979.
Damn The Torpedoes was originally released in the US on Backstreet, later pressings were on MCA.

bradf,

Wasn't "You're Gonna Get It" originally released on Shelter? as well?

I've been about to hit the "buy" button several times!

lenmc2964:

I think it would be great if you, as a fan, could expand more on the SQ compared to your own copies.

Popmarket has often offered these sets @ $219.00 each.

I think as a solid member here, you should give us your impressions. To do no less, is a lack of consideration..

It seems after you actually now own them, you are unwilling to offer any further information? Why?

I'm open...

I played my copy of "Damn The Torpedoes" the other day. This is the BG/ re-mastered/ORG copy pressed @ Pallas.

I'll leave my impressions to myself, lenmc2964


I have Ryan Ulate remastered Damn the Torpedoes in Hi-res digital and I think it is pretty good.

Yes, I don't have this LP, but the original US pressing in 1978 was on Shelter, ABC, DA-52029. I'm still researching info on both box sets, volume 1 and volume 2. If and when I get some info regarding mastering, etc, I will post it. The info found so far for volume 1, doesn't state the source; volume 2 (all but Mojo and Hypnotic Eye) seems to be remastered from original analogue tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Studios. It also appears that the new Geffen remasters are sold in box sets only.
