A new box set, “Origins 1971–1978,” is announced for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, highlighting the band’s early years. The release is tied to streaming and video materials that include a previously unreleased track, “Parade of Loons.”
According to reports, the 50th anniversary collection compiles five albums spanning 1971 to 1978 and is packaged with additional companion content. Sources describe the set as including a DVD and an 88-page fanzine. One outlet emphasizes the availability of the unreleased song through streaming, while the other focuses on the broader exploration of Petty’s origins through the overall box set concept.
While both sources agree on the announcement details and the inclusion of “Parade of Loons,” they differ slightly in emphasis—one highlights the streaming preview and “watch a video,” while the other foregrounds the box set’s overall format and anniversary framing.
