All newly released recordings on An American Treasure have been mixed by Ryan Ulyate from pristine transfers of the original studio multitrack masters.

Review: Now that's a quality release! - As someone who owns the vast majority of Tom Petty's catalogue. I really wasn't sure if I needed to buy a four CD box-set. After all, do we really need multiple versions of the same songs etc? Well when we're talking about An American Treasure, I'd say we absolutely do. An American Treasure is a fantastic little box-set for fans of Petty. It is a hefty collection featuring some remixes, rarities and a hefty amount of quality live tracks. The song choice itself features a vast array of hits, which will please the more casual listener. But there is even more on offer for the serious die hard with an excellent array fan favourites. Each disc is roughly an hour long, this means you get a solid four hours of music for just over £15. That is in my opinion a serious bargain. There has been a bit of controversy with audiophiles about the fact that the music was mastered for iPhones and docking station listeners. This has resulted in the dynamics being a little squashed with a bit too much loudness for some people's taste. With that said, it is by no means a bad sounding collection. The music is very much enjoyable at high volumes and is nowhere near as bad as it could have been. Folks who are a little picky about the audio quality might question the sound, but I really don't think it will bother most buyers. As an example, you can expect the same sound quality as the Live Anthology or Hypnotic Eye. The packaging looks rather pleasant. It is a hardback with some excellent art work, an extensive book with plenty of information on the tracks and some hard cardboard sleeves that should provide a lot of protection for the discs themselves. I honestly wish that bands would put this kind of effort into their collections as I think this looks and feels fantastic. It will look great on a shelf on display. Would love to see what the vinyl looks like. Considering the current asking price of this collection, I think this is an absolute steal. The packaging looks great and the music sounds as good as I'd hoped. I can't imagine many Tom Petty fans complaining about this collection. Even if it was being sold at a higher price.
Review: Impeccable - Everything about this release screams (well whispers respectfully): ‘Quality’. 4 discs of amazing song choices picked out by both his fellow band members and by his closest family. Most are live or ‘alternative’ takes. Even those few that have appeared on albums before feel ‘right’ here as they’re part of a gorgeous picture of a man. To purely include ONLY ‘alternative’ songs would be to disrespect the choices that Tom originally made. Not so much a ‘best of’ (some of the obvious big hits are missing to make room for rare songs delivered in ways you’d never expect) more case of ‘Tom was the best’! There are however lots and lots of versions never heard before. Vast numbers of images and accompanying words - often very moving - that tell the story behind each song choice. Whatever has been done to the sound quality of those live recordings is wonderful beyond belief. Beautiful stuff. I had a lump in my throat from the start of disc 1 to the end of disc 4. If you know anyone who loved Tom then this is a ‘must have’ gift for them. If it’s you that are missing Tom (as much as me) then treat yourself to this gorgeous book/box-set tribute. An impeccable triumph - like Tom himself. RIP

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Compilation
*by M***8 on 20 November 2018*

I became a fan of Tom Petty's since I saw him on The Old Grey Whistle Test in the mid 70's. I have loved all his albums. His daughter Adria, his wife Dana and his bandmates have put together a wonderful collection of songs that aren't just 2nd rate, throw away fillers. They are brilliant. Keeping Me Alive is a great song that Jimmy Iovine should have put on Tom's album, Let Me Up I've Had Enough. It's one of my favourites. Also, hearing Tom talking before or after a song is bittersweet. To get 4 CD's and a large booklet about some of the songs, and the heartfelt comments by his wife and daughter for around 13 pounds is an absolute bargain. Tom never wanted to rip off his fans. While he was alive he had well known arguments with record companies about the pricing of his albums and concert tickets. And it seems that Adria has inherited Tom's fairness to his fans. Usually if a rock singer dies, the record companies bring out poor quality demo compilations and then charge a fortune. This is not the case with these songs, they are all quality and good enough to have been on any of his albums. So in Adria's case, the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.
