Legendary Americana rockers TOM PETTY (1950-2017) and his HEARTBREAKERS
released their self-titled debut LP this day 48 years ago, on 9 November 1976.

The album received little attention on its release in the US. It peaked at No. 24 in
the UK following a British tour, and the single Anything That’s Rock ‘n’ Roll became
a hit in GB. After nearly a year and many positive reviews, the LP finally reached
the American charts, where it got to No. 55 in 1978 and eventually went Gold.

Pitchfork: “Despite featuring two of the band’s most enduring hits, Tom Petty
and the Heartbreakers’ debut is best remembered as a sketchpad for ideas that
came together later.” Score: 7/10.
