You get many additional photographs and an essay by author Nicholas Dawidoff – written especially for An American Treasure – about Tom Petty. There will also be a 26-track two-CD edition, although the four-CD deluxe set is so cheap in the UK, I can’t see why anyone would want the double-disc edition!Ī Super Deluxe Edition doesn’t add any extra audio but does come with an 84-page hardbound book expanded from the Deluxe Edition. You can preview Keep A Little Soul from the box (an outtake from 1982’s Long After Dark) below.

It comes with a 52-page booklet, with sleeve notes by Bud Scoppa (which feature new interviews with Petty’s bandmates and family). The deluxe edition of An American Treasure will feature 60 tracks across four CDs, with each disc devoted to a different decade. Petty’s widow Dana and daughter Adria apparently found lots of unreleased material while going through his archive and they have ‘executive produced’ this new box set which has ultimately been compiled by Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench from The Heartbreakers and Ryan Ulyate (Petty’s engineer). An American Treasure is a new box set that features rare and previously unreleased songs from Tom Petty.
