The release marks the first and only Petty live recording untouched since the day it was captured, pressed straight from tape to vinyl courtesy of beloved sound mixer Gennaro Rippo. The band enjoyed listening to the tapes after shows at what they would affectionately call “Gennaro’s Hawaiian Disco”, often offering him the presidential suite in the hotel so the band could party every night.

Recorded during the band Long after dark tour in the fall of ’82, The Gennaro tapes completes an incredible look at the 1982 collection of archival footage and music shared by the Tom Petty Estate this year.
