Changing the name from "You Rock Me" to "You Wreck Me" made a big difference for that song. I love it as a kind of throwback Heartbreakers rocker, and it cooked live.

FWIW, the original CD was mastered with quite a bit of digital compression added. When they remastered it for the deluxe set, they actually did three different remasterings: a “loud” version for streaming (using a similar amount of compression), a less-compressed version for the CD release (which does sound better to me than the original CD), and a version with no compression/full dynamic range for vinyl and hi-res digital vendors.

The making of documentary available on Prime comprised of 16mm film they found in 2020 is enjoyable.

Since doing a deep dive on him around the time he died I’ve been struck by how much pain Petty quietly lived with for most of his life – from growing up with an abusive father to living with an unstable spouse to becoming a heroin addict in his late forties. This record (and documentary) kind of reinforces that.
