Listening to the Wildflowers b-sides and outtakes for the first time.

Hope You Never is breaking my heart. Holy shit!

Quiet down, Cowpoke.

I love that show

Finding Wildflowers is out on Spotify today. I don't believe these were on Spotify previously, only the deluxe physical media comp.

They're good.

I dont think they were in the wildflowers box set I downloaded

They were somewhere in the deluxe. Vinyl only maybe? I’ve had digital files since then I set came out.

It’s in the 9 LP set.

They are records 8 and 9 of the vinyl set that was only available at independent retailers.

Yeah, this is just reminding me how outstanding Tom Petty was. I mean, these alternative takes are great - I mean even if this was the album it would be in my top 10 albums in life. Wildflowers is just unbelievable.

That’s throwing me back into the tailspin of another Tom Petty binge. I listened to the first two albums this morning. I am just about convinced that the entirety of both records would have been radio ready at that time. And even those one or two songs that may not have played great on the radio are phenomenal tracks on their own.

was listening to the finding wildflowers vinyl set and got to the alt take of house on the woods, which has a seemingly out of place jam section in the middle that i thought to myself sounded very much like the grateful dead. i read the liner notes after listening to the record and sure enough rubin notes that mike campbell had been deep diving into the dead at the time. breakdown happens about 2:15.
