Something really is odd because according to Discogs (see link below), this compilation wasn't released on vinyl; are you sure the title is correct?

Tom petty record misprint
My dad bought a tom petty & the heartbreakers record set before I was even born, it is anthology through the years. I just decided to play it today for the first time ever, I somehow didn’t realise side A was entirely blank. The needle rips across the track. Also the notebook was printed backwards in the box set (see images) none of it makes sense to me, is it a collectors item or total garbage? Unopened versions go for over 600 bucks now, not planning on buying one anytime soon. I can’t figure out how to upload images will try later

The live record with that set (Official Live 'Leg) is blank on side B by design. On the Discogs link, you'll see that all the songs are listed on side A, and I checked on my copy, and it is the same way: no songs on side B. Having a blank side is not common (and many artists will add an etching or something to avoid being entirely blank), but it does happen. |
@larsman - I was thinking about that one, too, and I need to dig it out: it's been much too long since I gave it a spin. The Appetite for Destruction remaster and a couple of the Neil Young Archives releases have had a side 4 with no music, too, but they chose to have an etching instead of bonus tracks - I would have went with bonus tracks, but no one asked me. |
