Tom Petty "Wildflowers" Deluxe Box Set Opening! World Premier!

- Rick Rubin asked a while back if I'd be willing to listen to a set of this box's 9 test pressings. "After all", he punked me, "you are the last person in North America with a turntable". I was more than happy and honored to do this. I was asked not to disclose this until the box's release date (October 16th) was announced, and I honored that request.
A few weeks ago the publicist said I'd get a box well in advance of release date (and before just about anyone else) and that I could review it at that time. The box arrived yesterday, Friday, September 26th. I dropped what I was doing, set up the video stuff in my listening room and recorded in one long take the "box opening".
I hope you enjoy it! The review will soon be published on AnalogPlanet.com.

So glad to see you, and also glad you had a hand in this project.
Tom Petty's work deserves the utmost top treatment, and you
my friend are a National Treasure to the vinyl community!
Peace and stay safe..
Bless you for this and the unboxing video of the set. I drew and had Tom Pettys wildflower tattooed on my tummy on the left side above where my bikini would not hide it! Now 46, I need a serious touch up it’s so faded! I have never heard a Tom Petty song I did not like. I got my tattoo for my 21st b-day! Back in 1996. After a year stay in FL. I moved back to Virginia to settle down and finish college. I was so excited to here this news! That was the only tat I had on my body other than a cross, I had added later on my chest. Over my ❤️ heart. Thank you for the unboxing. Your hair is great, I would let it grow just as I would the wildflowers!
Damn! Where've you been son? We've missed you. Welcome back, don't be such a stranger. 😉✌️
Been missing your videos, Michael. Especially your unboxings. Good to have you back. Thanks
Hi Michael A well informed and interesting video as always. Seeing you surrounded by all those records makes me think , you must be the custodian of one of the greatest collections in the world . Do you ever plan to archive it and make provision for its future. It certainly is a wonderful legacy, and testament to a lifetime dedicated to music . And of course a recognition of the part played by the vinyl round . You have always been a great ambassador to the record industry. And a champion of the importance of good pressing and production processes , which are so important to keep the format a live . So may I take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work , now and in the future. Best wishes and kind regards. Mike in the U.K.
I gotta get that box, wow! Happy to see you safe and still kickin,! Your reviews are always top notch! Be safe!
Thank you for the review. I love your videos. Keep them coming please.
Congrats on two weeks early! I have the 5CD box on order. Can’t wait!
Nice. Tom is sadly missed worldwide.
I'm so glad you're back.
Thanks for this MICHAEL. You inspired me to purchase! Love your videos. Only wish you made more! Waiting with bated breath for the full review!
Great to see you back here on YT!
This was delightful to watch. Can't wait for mine to arrive!
Great review, and great to see you again too 👍
"What's in here? Owh!" Fantastic review thank you. Can't wait for my box to arrive!

Thank you Mr Fremer for the Tom Petty box set review, and it's good seeing that you're OK. I always enjoy your videos!
As you know, this guy holds a special place in many hearts. I was fortunate to see him 5 times and only wish, now, it had been more. This is an important release for family, friends, the band and his countless fans. I was on the website, day one, when you could’ve purchased the MEGA box set for $499. At that time, there was nothing saying there would be only 500 sets. I took a screenshot, messaged a friend to give him a heads-up figuring, I would come come back and purchase it at a later date. I looked a few days later and sure enough, it was sold out. OUCH. Better get the 9 lp box before it sells out. I understand it’s another limited box press? I was never into preorder anything. Live n learn. Don’t sleep on this TP fans!
Thanks for this Michael. Totally enjoyed this video and I think I am going to re-visit the album altogether!!
Probably the most excited for a release I've been since well the 90s!
gregory irwin 2:nd This!
The extra songs are amazing! I heard it on CZcams. I needed this awesome new music from Tom Petty RIP and the Heartbreakers.
Good to see you Michael! Great album great set
You sold me Michael. I've been on the fence about buying this until your unboxing.
Thx u for showing this. Tom petty seriously my favorite artist the only reason why I picked up a guitar. Such an influence 3 years gone by so fast. I miss Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers music the band was so in tune to one another.
One of my fave records. Got me back into records quite a while back.
Nice to see you back and healthy! Greetings from Brazil!
Oh Mr. Fremer,
I'm glad to see you again! It was a long time... missed you.
Hope everything's fine. (You look so :) ).
Heard just yesterday (your recommendation) Duke's masterpieces. Now I have to save up my money for Tom :)
Thank you very much for everything! Stay healthy and safe! And of course have much fun with music!
Greetings from Germany,
Erik
Test pressing! That’s going to only appreciate in value over time. RIP Tom.
Michael... Thank You so much for the kind words about DTT during this premiere overview of this great Tom Petty work!! We are really excited about the entire set and can't wait to hear all it ourselves...
wow real nice thanks for showing us
Good to see you again Mr Fremer.
Crazy hair n all.
Good to see you
When I'm not actually playing records, I could listen to you rambling on about records all day ;-)
Glad to see you again Michael !! Jimmy ....
“You can be old & still love this stuff!” He’s so right!!!
Have been missing your reviews. Wish you would do them more often!!
Rob me too, he is extraordinary.
First time I've seen your channel (I think), not a big Tom Petty fan but like your passion/enthusiasm and general preview of the album! One point I'd like to make is that I hope whoever made that t-shirt gave the great Tony Alva some credit :)
Love the Tweeter call out. I managed audio for both Good Guys and CC. Miss specialty retail. Great overview, looking forward to getting my set when they ship!
Ay, missed you man, much love.
Hi Mr. Fremer,
I love music and somewhat of an audiophile... do not own a turntable or many vinyls but am a music aficionado of great CD box sets. I loved the previous American Treasure... that was
an incredible collection. I have no doubt that this is as great. Yes, what a legend. Nice to see that this legendary album gets reappraised by a connoisseur as yourself.
God bless and keep well..... oh and the longer hair suits you.
Tino
Excellent presentation - thanks.
We miss videos from you!! Please do more videos! Would love to see a video review and discussion of the Schiit Sol
That is coming!
I just ordered the big box set.. can't wait to hear it.
There is something about you talking about records and your anecdotes in your music room that is very comforting and like everything is ok in the world.
Please do more.
It is a pleasing illusion/delusion! Trust me.... but I do what I can...
I came across the first Mudcrutch double album at a yard sale, and it became my absolute favorite Tom Petty offering.
Love it Man, Been A While, Keep the hair going.
"You can be old and still love this stuff!" I hear that! (-: You can also be old and green with envy (-; Now I know why I love many of the tracks on "She's the One". It seems they were all a part of the Wildflowers sessions (I think I'm getting that right?). That's such a wasted album in many ways because the songs got next to no exposure, but are as excellent as anything else he ever released. Thank you for this World Premier. I've enjoyed the entire 16 minutes. Very humbly & knowledgably presented. Take care & enjoy that wonderful set!
Nice! Its good to see you.
Welcome back and thanks for the video!
Nice box set!
Schiit, I had my chance at one last week and now you've blown it all to Krell! The prices are going to be RIDICULOUS now!!!
Finn McCool
You can still buy em everywhere for the regular price. They’re definitely still available. 👍🎵✌️
The hair looks badass. Nice!
Yah it fits him well. It fits his personality. Wacky, rocker and sometimes crazy.
So pumped to get mine
Wow! I can’t wait to get mine!
Nice to see a New Video from you ...❤️😎
looks like a great box set. Can't wait for your review..... I would like you to go over your equipment setup. thanks
Keep the hair !!!
Cannot wait for it come out , I’m just getting the normal version as the deluxe box set is out of my reach .
Awesome!
You look like you're about to go back to the future.
That reminds me.. I thought I saw Michael J. Fox in a florist the other day, but he had his back to the fuchsia’s 😐
@@cool3rking That sounds like a good joke, but I don't get it.
thegrimyeaper First things first, it ain’t a good joke. 😂 Secondly, I don’t know how to explain it if you don’t get it! 😉
@@cool3rking If he had his back to the fuchsia's and you couldn't verify it was him, wouldn't that mean that you had to be hiding inside the fuchsia?
@@thegrimyeaper you might be over thinking this just a bit buddy! Anyway, the merest hint of humour has been successfully eradicated... 😂😂
Keep the hair, it'll get the younger generation to listen to you more! 👍💯😎
My grandkids think I'm cool again because of the hair. Showed them pics from the 60s-70s and they started calling me Pop-pop-hippie
Happy to see you made it through the Covid.
Was getting worried about ya.
Stay Healthy.
👍👍
Yeah, this fake ass scamdemic!
It’s a hoax
jobos98
That was kind of you to say. Thank you. It’s unfortunate that some people think it’s all a big lie.
Edit: I’ve got ridiculous hair too, Michael, and it is great to see you’re doing well.
hi resolution analog
Your so called “scamdemic hoax” killed 2 people I know and put 2 of my friends in the hospital. I can only hope you’re joking.
Mr.SmithGNR Smith
Your so called “scamdemic hoax” killed 2 people I know and put 2 of my friends in the hospital. I can only hope you’re joking too.
That looks great.
So, I received it, and...
YES! Amazing 👏
The hair looks amazing. Let it grow!
Thanks Mike, it’s on my list. 😎
This is indeed exciting. I love this album. It dropped when I was young, dumb, and carefree.
Excellent Dude ❗
Good to see you back. New Look i see. A Master Audiophile Look ( Steve Guttenberg )
are you saying I look like Doris Kearns Goodwin?
Rare to see a (fellow) Jewish man of a certain age so follically blessed. Well done, Michael! Love your videos, as always.
Prousto He’s obviously blessed with better genes than I…
correct, his live shows were great. When Jackson Browne once opened for him he said, you're gonna see something special tonight.
Thank You
Running a pirate radio station and everything is analog. Up until my new mixing board, nothing in my studio is less than 20 years old. I love collecting promo copies, bootlegs, all formats--even MiniDisc. Just got a new subscriber. I am fortunate enough to have some soundboard recordings of Alice Cooper that his late assistant recorded and gave to me that have never seen the light of day, one of those things that don't "officially exist." Love all of this stuff.
Thank you for shering ...
I’m ordering mine in a couple of weeks.
Very cool.
Stay safe Michael
Love your video’s
You lucky SOB! lol. That’s so awesome! I preordered mine the second I heard it went on sale. Can’t wait until October 16th!
God, do I miss him making music. He seemed incapable of writing a bad song. R.I.P. Tom Petty.
Thanks so much for giving the preview and a lil’ info on the set, Michael. 🎶✌️🔊🙂
You Are Right; Great Live Band, TP & HB! Always Liked Benmont Tench!
For those that do the have a vinyl rig will this box set be released on tidal, spotify or as a deluxe cd box set? Thanks!
Nice to see you back!
I'm not the world's biggest Tom Petty fan but do appreciate his music. I will say the Heartbreakers during the Southern Accents tour may well have been the tightest band I've ever seen live. Don't Come Around Here No More kept building and building and building. It was utterly amazing and I'll never forget it. Thanks, Mikey. I may spring for this set.
If not a fan why bother? Do not know, how a person could not be a fan of Tom Petty? That is sad maybe you just do not have good taste in music.
@@sandrafrazier1200 I did not say I'm not a fan. But thank you for the insult.
I love tom
Best box set
Love the hair, Mikey. Keep it!
Cut it.
Hi is this the 9 lp set? I see there are 3 and 7 vinyl sets please help us with what’s the best bang
Love that “ALVA” tee
love the hair
Is Girl On LSD the flip side of You Don't Know How it Feels is in this box set ? I am not talking about the live version Thx .
i preordred this a LONG time ago, and I cannot wait to get mine.
Great Boxset... hard to get it over to Germany in this time.
Love that shirt
I could only afford the $47 3 LP on amazon. I’m drooling right now. Can’t wait for my copy.
So I'm definitely about to get this box set. But, All I have for a turntable is a "Rock N Rolla" cheapie with a USB connection that allegedly converts vinyl albums into MP3s. I've never tried it out, but should I just get the Digital Download, or should I get the CD Box Set which I'd assume has the liner book, or... ? What'd you think?
I think if you can afford the box you can at least find a way to buy a proper used turntable on EBay or Audiogon or wherever and install a decent cartridge. Look for 70s era Pioneer, Sony, Kenwood, Denon etc. Should cost less than this box! Better would be a new U-Turn, a Rega P1, a Pro-Ject, a Music Hall, or an Audio Technica. Im leaving out a few. You
Analog is king 👑👏
@Jingle Nuts not true. Digital nowadays I think is overtaking analog with its superb sound.
@@michaelcruz7704 Again, analog is king! Digital just can't beat analog.
I'm the only person south of the equator in South Africa. That loves vinyl. Mr Rubin.
Then theres two of us. Glad to see Michael again.
Nice hair Mr. Fremer!
Youre even gonna make Guttenberg jealous with that hair Michael!
Fremer is taking on a sixties throwback look
Does anyone remember Petty doing “The Waiting” solo on the Tom Snyder show? It was my favorite Petty moment. Only saw it that once unfortunately.
I’m old enough to remember the Tom Snyder show - which is also precisely why I don’t remember anything else. 🤷🏻♀️
Great take
Nice Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young reference
