Tom Petty | Heartbreakers* – The Last DJ

Flawless pressing! Crystal clear listening experience! Grab one when you get a chance

Can only agree, it sounds really good! Flat as a pancake

Unless you just have to have an original then I highly recommend the Bellman reissue over this one

I have this one and the original from 2002. This is the one you want. Sounds so much better than the original. Bigger soundstage, bass, clarity… it is not even close. Save you some money too!

Perfect pressing of a pretty good Heartbreakers album. Nice clear, wide master. Loving it.

My copy is perfect and sounds absolutely great, no background or invasive noise on every side, the voice of Tom Petty is simply magnetic and the listening experience is fantastic, with a good dynamic and perfect instruments positioning. Worth every euro spent!

Bought two different copies and both suffer from a lot of invasive noise (i.e. not just in between tracks) on side one. Side two and three fare better, but I would not recommend this pressing.

Underrated album in my humble opinion. Great commentary on the music industry. Classic songs. Fantastic production. And the master himself, Chris Bellman, delivers us another fantastic slab of wax. When A Kid Goes Bad is goosebump-inducing!

I have a Japanese Digipack version of this album that apparently has some enhanced material on it as well. I’m assuming video of some sort as it has the requirements for Mac or Windows on the OBI. It’s never been played as I have a US copy of this on regular CD. The catalog number is WPCR-11344. I’m pretty sure that this is not a counterfeit item as it was purchased from CDJapan a few years ago. It has 10/23/02 as the release date on the OBI strip and if it is a counterfeit version, it’s a good one. The tri-fold cover is well made as well as the inserts and the OBI. I have purchased a few counterfeit copies and like any other collectible items, after you get screwed over a few times, you learn what to look for when it comes to counterfeit items.

Does anyone else have the Japanese version of this incredible album? I have a massive collection of US made CDs , many from Columbia House and another club that was popular in the late 90s and I haven’t even listed them here yet. Mostly because most of them are only worth around $5.00 or so maximum. If it’s a HDCD or a rare Disk, I generally list it under rare or hard to find CDs. I don’t want to go through the whole submission process, which takes me forever, to create a whole new release of this Cd if no one else has it. I don’t think it’s counterfeit as CDJapan has never been an unreliable source for the Japanese version of these rare disc. I have a very large collection of Japanese SHM and Paper Sleeve box sets that I’ve bought while in Japan, and several that my college friend who lives and works in Japan has sent me over the years that I have listed as they are steadily getting harder to find and the price of them is also going up as well.

Funniest thing happened tonight. As I was flipping over this record, I became distracted by something on my muted TV.....record still in my hand. After the distraction, I looked down at the record to place it on the table, saw that it was side 1. The Last DJ first cut. "Yup, just heard that side." Flipped it over just as my son asked me a question. Answered his question. Looked down and saw side 1, thinking, "Yup. Wait. Didn't I just flip it?" Then flipped it and place it on the table only see that it is side 1. WTF?!?! Am I going insane? Take it off, flip it over again.....bang. 2 side one labels on disc one. Funny story. Anyhooooo...Does anyone else have the same labeling glitch? My copy is the 2017 reissue 555143-1
