Universal's 2010 Deluxe Edition of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' breakthrough 1979 album Damn the Torpedoes adds a full disc of rarities to a nicely remastered version of the original LP. This second disc doesn't serve up many unreleased songs -- the quite nice "Nowhere," a solid pop song that does feel like an outtake compared to what made it to the finished album; "Surrender," which popped up as a bonus track on 2000's Anthology; "It's Rainin' Again," which showed up on the 1995 box set -- but the quality of cuts here is quite strong, particularly the live recordings taken from a March 1980 performance at the Hammersmith Odeon, highlighted by a barnstorming cover of Eddie Cochran's "Somethin' Else." Add to these rarities the cool, grooving B-side "Casa Dega" and its accompanying affecting demo, and a spare alternate take of "Refugee," and this is an entertaining collection of odds and ends that's a nice addition to a classic album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
