TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS (1976-2017) released their
8th LP Into The Great Wide Open today 35 years ago, on 2 July 1991.

It was the second produced with Jeff Lynne.
#3 in the UK, #13 in the US, #4 in Canada.

Featured on the LP’s cover is a reproduction of a painting, titled Autumn Landscape
by Czech-American modernist artist Jan Matulka (1890-1972). The original is owned
by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Entertainment Weekly (Former American magazine): “The closest thing to a “classic” album that Petty and the Heartbreakers had made in 15 years, and a return to the quality of their first two albums.”
