The late Tom Petty's long-awaited box dedicated to the gestation of his classic Wildflowers album is finally here. Wildflowers & All The Rest rounds up the original 1994 album alongside several bonus discs of outtakes and rarities. A standard 2CD/3LP edition adds 10 unheard tracks - intended for a much longer edition of the album at the time - while a 4CD/7LP deluxe box adds two volumes of solo home recordings and live cuts. A super deluxe edition adds an additional CD or 2 LPs of alternate recordings, labeled "Finding Wildflowers"; a limited "ultra deluxe" vinyl box includes all 9 LPs plus "an exclusive unique unisex necklace-hand-made by Maria Sarno in a faux suede pouch, an exclusive lyric book with the illustrations by Blaze Ben Brooks, an exclusive 7″ of 'You Don't Know How It Feels,' packaged in a custom fabric bag with a metal Wildflowers logo as the closure--designed and made by Los Angeles-based Made Worn." (It's limited to 475 copies and was briefly available exclusively at Petty's website. The super deluxe vinyl and 5CD edition will also only be sold there as well.)
Wildflowers & All The Rest was curated by Adria, Annakim and Dana Petty in collaboration with Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench of The Heartbreakers and longtime engineer Ryan Ulyate. The deluxe editions feature a new introduction by Rubin, liner notes by David Fricke and track-by-track notes by Jaan Uhelszki, featuring input from Rubin, Ulyate, Campbell, Tench, Ferrone, album engineer Jim Scott and live mixing engineer Robert Scovill.
