Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Two years after Petty’s debut, You’re Gonna Get It is another batch of sharp, swaggering rock tunes to hit the record stores recovering the path Petty strode to mega stardom.

The astonishing brilliance of a few tracks on this record seal its fate as a classic Petty album: "Listen to Her Heart" continues his tribute to the jangly guitar style of the Byrds' "I Need to Know" and nails Petty’s plaintive singing style and gut delivery (those muscular guitar lines don’t hurt either); "Magnolia" sways pleasantly like a summer afternoon with love in the air; and "Too Much Ain’t Enough" further mines the gritty sound of a garage band stretching out. "You’re Gonna Get It" and "When the Time Comes" are both above-average rockers, with signature Petty vocals that are by some turns threatening and others genteel as well as 12-string guitar chords laden with heavenly abandon. --Lorry Fleming



From Amazon.com

If Bob Dylan had been a garage rocker instead of a poet, there may not have been room for Tom Petty on the rock landscape. But things turned out great: Petty burst on the scene as it was splitting into two camps (rock and punk) and somehow managed to please both with his whiny sneer and taut, jangly guitars. (Dylan went on to be...Dylan.) Frantic tunes like "Rockin' Around (With You)" and "Anything That's Rock 'n' Roll" (predating the Jags a few years later) helped land the band--temporarily--in the punk and new-wave camp, although choppy guitars and nervous energy were as much a part of the band's style as was a more traditional guitar sound. The now-classic "American Girl" was a brazen nod to the Byrds, and Stones-ish rock sentiments fueled the bar-band leanings of "Hometown Blues" and the sexy "Breakdown." "The Wild One, Forever" proved that beneath the sneer there was a sensitive guy who knew how to write a great love song. --Lorry Fleming

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing debut album, 26 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Listen to "American Girl" or "The Wild One, Forever" and try to convince yourself this album came out at the start of the punk era. There's something other-worldly about Petty's keening voice, and Mike Campbell's frenetic guitar is right to the fore of what is a pretty stripped-down production, making the whole thing at least SOUND like a punk album at times. The chiming guitar riffs at the start of "American Girl" should be as recognizable as Jimi Hendrix's grunge lead-in to "Purple Haze", and tracks like "Breakdown" or "Anything that's Rock n Roll" are as good as anything Springsteen, Mellencamp, Seger or any other singer-songwriter type ever wrote. Petty got better and better over the next few years, and "Southern Accents" was probably his last truly great album. Here he's young, in your face, sneering, swaggering and making with some great songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have album., 18 Feb 2008
By Mr. P. B. Koeb (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Really fabulous debut album, on which there is not a duff track anywhere in sight. None of the available TP compilations can do it justice, because every track is a killer. The one criticism which can be levelled at this album, especially in the cd era, is the extremely short running time. This one clocks in at about only thirty minutes. But what a glorious thirty-minute slice of late seventies American rock. Indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, 14 Feb 2008
By Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This is the awe inspiring debut album from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and showed just how much raw talent they had, which thankfully they've been able to maintain to the present day. This album is relatively short but is perfectly formed. Songs like 'Breakdown' and 'American Girl' were destined to be instant classics and 'Fooled Again (I don't like it)' is one of my all time Petty favourites, the angst and sneering emotion in that song are just brilliant. This is an excellent place to start with Tom Petty and a superb album overall. One of those required albums for nearly all CD collections. WELL worth a buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars His finest half-hour
Stripped back to the bones, this is still Petty's best effort to date. Nearly thirty years on and it still sounds as fresh as the day I bought it on vinyl.
