Petty's best "unreleased" song is included on this single

Tom Petty really dropped the ball. The inclusion of "Sweet William," a previously unreleased track borne out of the "Echo" album recordings should have been included on the album itself. Instead, it bows here as a pseudo-"B side" on this cd single. Without hyperbole, it is one of his best rockers of all time. The single includes "Room at the Top" and "Lonesome Sundown" but it is "Sweet William" that really shines. The song includes some tremendously wicked guitar licks. I don't know who's to thank for the jams: Petty or Mike Campbell. The price is a bit steep but if you want to get ahold of a rare Tom Petty gem, get this disc. Any Petty fan will not be disappointed.

Worth the price

The songs included on this three-song disc are "Room at the Top," "Sweet William," and "Angel Dream" (not "Lonesome Sundown" as reported in another review here). It is the middle song that is the true star of this rare release. Sweet William is one of the most obscure, rocking-est songs Tom Petty has ever put forth. This one is a raucous celebration of major guitar riffs by Mike Campbell, some terrific hardcore jamming by the Heartbreakers, and smokey lyrics by Petty himself. This one cut really harkens back to the loud garage bands of yesteryear. Room at the Top is a fine tune and really a terrific, complex song from the most recent Heartbreakers album Echo. Included also is Angel Dream--one of Petty's admitted personal favorites. It is sweet and haunting and remains an overlooked Heartbreaker gem. However, overshadowing it all is Sweet William. A true treat for anyone willing to buy this import.
