2025 has been a great year for fans of Tom Petty’s classic Wildflowers album.
Tom Petty: Somewhere You Feel Free: The Making of Wildflowers, was recently released on Blu-ray with a wealth of bonus content, including music videos and a 30-minute interview with Petty.
Genesis Publications is also preparing to release an expansive book about the record. Wildflowers, due out in December, presents the story of the album featuring interviews with Petty and his associates and others who were around in that time period, visually surrounded by lots of photos and ephemera from the era.
Lastly, there’s a new vinyl edition of Wildflowers available for audiophiles from Warner Music and Because Sound Matters, the latest entry in their ongoing One Step series. Supervised by longtime Petty producer Ryan Ulyate, the album is housed inside a top quality, uniquely designed numbered slipcase. The enclosed LP features an “Old Style” double pocket gatefold tip-on jacket for the first time. Special care has been taken to faithfully preserve the original sound with exceptional clarity and depth, capturing the recording’s nuances and subtleties at every step to create the best sounding record possible.
