The latest addition to Eagle's critically acclaimed and highly successful Classic Albums series is Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' 1979 breakthrough album Damn the Torpedoes. The band's third album defined their musical style and took them into the mainstream hitting #2 on the U.S. charts and spawning the Top 10 single 'Don't Do Me Like That'. The disc features newly filmed contributions from the band members Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Ron Blair and Stan Lynch along with co-producer Jimmy Iovine and engineer Shelly Yakus as they analyze the tracks from the original multi-track tapes and through new and archive performances.
