Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – Damn the Torpedoes (180g Vinyl LP)
$40.00
Damn The Torpedoes, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers’ third album (and first on Backstreet/MCA,) proved to be the breakthrough for the singer-songwriter-guitarist and his band (guitarist Mike Campbell, keyboardist Benmont Tench, bassist Ron Blair and drummer Stan Lynch). The album was released in October 1979, after a highly publicized lawsuit in which Petty made a groundbreaking stand for artist rights, refusing to be sold by one record company to another without his consent.
Damn The Torpedoes became the group’s first Top 10, remaining at No. 2 for seven weeks (only Pink Floyd’s The Wall kept it from the top). It sold over 5-million copies, and had 3 top 40 hits and 4 top 5 rock-radio hits. The album was an immediate critical success, with Rolling Stone declaring Damn The Torpedoes “the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album we have all been waiting for.”
