Wildflowers was a landmark release in the iconic career of Tom Petty, and fans have long clamored for a deluxe reissue of the 1994 solo album — and after a few months of anticipation, Wildflowers & All the Rest has officially been announced. The set will be released on Oct. 16 via Warner Records and will be available in a variety of formats.

(Click here to pre-order Wildflowers & All the Rest on 2-CD from our Rock Cellar Store,  click here for the 4-CD Deluxe Edition, click here for the 3-LP set and click here for the Deluxe 7-LP box set).

The story of Wildflowers is one promising a wealth of unheard material. The original album sessions with Tom Petty and co-producers Rick Rubin and Mike Campbell yielded a double-CD with 25 songs, but “his label advised restraint,” per a press release. Years later, Petty mentioned ongoing plans for a Wildflowers revisit, and now it’s finally here.

Tom’s vision of the project is becoming a reality due to the commitment of his loving family, bandmates and collaborators who helped unearth many previously unheard gems. The compilation was curated by Tom’s daughters, Adria and Annakim Petty and his wife Dana Petty who call it, “Many, many hours of pure sonic joy,” as well as Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, and was produced by Tom’s longtime engineer and co-producer Ryan Ulyate. Together they stewarded the warmth Tom created through his music and relationship to his fans.

Here’s a new video for “Wildflowers (Home Recording),” premiered with the reissue news and featuring previously unseen footage of Petty at home, as shot by Martyn Atkins:
