Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Damn The Torpedoes (Deluxe Edition 2010)

Damn The Torpedoes - Deluxe Edition 2010
FLAC + Apple Lossless
These are some large files. Why?

Damn The Torpedoes - Deluxe Edition was released on a high-resolution audio featuring the original stereo mix. The 24-bit 96K audio from the FLAC downloads contains 256 times more resolution than a CD, providing greater detail and reproducing the music's full dynamic range, from the softest to the loudest sounds.

For those of us who use Apple devices, the files were also converted from the downloadable FLAC files (a bonus to those who bought the Blu-Ray version) to Apple Lossless with a sample rate of "Same As The Original" to preserve all the 24-bit 96K audio quality.

I personally noticed the additional sonic space in the songs and hope you appreciate it.

The Deluxe Edition comes with nine additional bonus tracks not included on the original album. Seven of these tracks are previously unreleased including two studio tracks from the original Damn The Torpedoes sessions: “Nowhere” and “Surrender.”

The never-before-heard “Nowhere” was thought to have been lost in 1979 when the tape boxes were being moved daily to avoid the possibility that court bailiffs would claim them as part of Petty’s assets in the lawsuit at the time. The original 1979 recording of “Surrender” is also included on the bonus disc. “Surrender” was a mainstay of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ concert setlists for many years although this original studio version recorded for Damn The Torpedoes, which includes Stan Lynch on drums, never saw the light of day until now.

Also included on the bonus disc is the original demo for the B-side “Casa Dega” and an alternate take of “Refugee” as well as a trio of live performances at London’s Hammersmith Odeon (March 6, 1980), including “Don’t Do Me Like That.”
