Career-Spanning Tom Petty Greatest Hits Collection The Best of Everything Coming in November
Photos by Jerrod Harris/Getty, Aaron RapoportA new career-spanning Tom Petty greatest hits collection is on the way, titled The Best of Everything.
Due out on Nov. 16 via Geffen Records/UME, the set will feature selections not only from Petty’s solo work, but also from his time with The Heartbreakers and Mudcrutch. The 38 tracks will include two unreleased tracks, the autobiographical “For Real” and a re-worked version of the album’s title track, “The Best of Everything,” which includes a new second verse not on the original version from The Heartbreaker’s 1985 album Southern Accents.
This greatest hits collection follows a year of releases memorializing Petty, from posthumous box set An American Treasure, released in September, to the found-footage music video for previously unreleased track “Gainesville” earlier this month. This all follows Petty’s death in October of last year at age 66, a loss that reverberated throughout the classic rock community and beyond.
The collection will be available on digital streaming platforms and as a two-disc CD set in November, with a vinyl release to follow on Dec. 7. Both versions can be preordered here, and the tracklist is included further down this page.
Check out the alternate version of “The Best of Everything,” out today, Oct. 5, below, along with a a 1978 Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers performance from the Paste archives, and revisit Paste’s listing of the band’s best songs here.
