A reissue of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ 1982 album, Long After Dark, will be released on October 18. The remastered version of the Billboard Top 10 record includes 12 bonus tracks, including seven previously unreleased songs. The Petty Legacy archives have also announced that over the next few weeks they will be sharing a series of unearthed songs and videos from the 1982-83 era to accompany the upcoming reissue. “There was some music recorded for Long After Dark that didn’t get on the record, that I thought would’ve made it a better album,” Petty is quoted as saying in a press release for the reissue. “I left off… four things that I liked quite a bit. And probably a few more written that never even got in the door.” In addition to the remastered original album and the bonus tracks, the Long After Dark reissue will also feature liner notes from celebrated Rolling Stone music journalist David Fricke, along with commentary from Jimmy Iovine and Cameron Crowe.
