Description
The album’s lead single, “Don’t Come Around Here No More” peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.
While mixing the album’s opening track, “Rebels”, Petty became frustrated and punched a wall, severely breaking his left hand. Subsequent surgery on his hand left him with several pins, wires and screws holding his hand together.
The album cover features an 1865 painting by Winslow Homer titled The Veteran in a New Field.
