Another "Greatest Hits" album, but
unlike the superb one released in 1993, this one is a double. Yes, it's
better, simply because Petty had a helluva lot of great material. Some
of the additions and omissions are questionable, but you get your bang
for your buck. Note that this is an MCA release, so even though he had
a few albums in the mid to late 1990's on the Warner record label, those
songs are obviously omitted. The best thing here: an unreleased song
Surrender from the late 1970s. It sounds just as good as
anything he did from that time. Curious as to why this is the first
time it saw the light of the day.
