Finally, earlier this year Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers released their first album together since 2002 with the highly enjoyable Mojo. For the band’s next release they will look to the past, as on November 9 they will reissue their breakthrough album Damn The Torpedoes as a double disc deluxe edition. Released in 1979, the record peaked at number two on the Billboard charts thanks to songs like Refugee, Here Comes My Girl and Don’t Do Me Like That. The repackaged version of the album has been digitally remastered and features a nine track bonus disc.
