Earlier this year, the Petty estate was released an expanded version of Long After Darkfeaturing 12 additional tracks. The 1982 album is best known for the Top 20 hit “You Got Lucky,” and was the first to feature Howie Epstein on bass.
Long After Dark wasn't one of Petty's favorite albums. “It wasn't that I didn't like it,” he explained in 2005's Conversations With Tom Petty. “It's a good little rock and roll record with good songs and good playing. But I don't know that we advanced on that record.”
