And in fact six of the tracks here have the classic Heartbreakers line-up, including Stan Lynch on drums - adding an interesting harder touch on those songs. Two tracks have Kenny Aronoff on drums, known for his work with John Mellencamp in the 1980's, and both of those are very lively as well. Ringo Starr plays on the song "Wildflowers" itself, though you'd never know it, he isn't trying to sound like Ringo with The Beatles in 1964.
If you are a huge fan of the original, you'll probably like these alternate takes. And if you found the original to be overly delicate and not "Heartbreakers" enough, this is actually a significant improvement on the original. Not only does the band sound more "live" here, but many of the songs have a brief spoken introduction by Tom Petty himself, which greatly adds to the appeal of these sessions. The final track "You Saw Me Coming" is interesting, never having appeared previously in any form. Not one of Petty's best but not bad either, and it too has Stan Lynch on drums, a nice way to finish the album.
The track order doesn't try to duplicate the original album, and that's a good idea - avoiding direct comparisons. Overall this is essential for die-hard fans, along with the 4 CD "Wildflowers & All the Rest". And that's from someone who didn't think the original album was all that great (for a Petty/Heartbreakers album), so definitely high (and unexpected) praise from me.
A few tracks have appeared as B-sides (Only a Broken Heart (alternate), Girl on LSD, Cabin Down Below (acoustic)), and a couple appeared more recently on An American Treasure (Don't Fade on Me (alternate), Wake Up Time (alternate)). The rest are unreleased. A few notable omissions (You Don't Know How It Feels, anyone?). Some songs feature the complete TP & the HB's lineup -- I don't think Stan Lynch appears at all on the completed album. There are some interesting liner notes detailing each take, as well, from people like Benmont Tench and Rick Rubin.
This disc previously appeared as the "5th" bonus disc in the Wildflowers and All the Rest super deluxe set (currently $123 on Amazon). Unless you care about the packaging and riff raff that comes with that (though there is a book), I'd say some people got burned on it. I did not expect them to release this separately, I can only assume there was a demand for it. Anyway, I'm very happy they did. More of this, please!
