Solid pressing. A very underrated Petty album. "King's Road" is a good rocker.
-
I've owned this since it came out and just played it tonight. This pressing sounds tremendous. Loud, punchy and filling up your room. New CB is great, but this OG is tops... -

Nice pressing; sounds energetic and lively, but a little thin on the bottom end. TP’s recordings are always done quite well, and this one is no exception. -

Tom Petty never dissapoints,not with the Heartbreakers or solo,just an outstanding artist in every way,not a bad second in everything this guy did in his lifetime.I was very saddended when he ed away probably by a sort of a mistake.I will cherish his output till the day I die. -

Great sounding vinyl. No hiss, fizz, snaps, crackles, or pops. Really good mix. -

One of TP&THB best. So many iconic songs on one album! -
These TP Chris Bellman mastered records are absolutely stunning. Hard promises is no exception. Beautiful separation, brightness and tone. This is the 4th TP/CB collaboration and I plan on picking up them all. -
I being a bit disappointed in this "back in the day" after Damn The Torpedoes but it has aged well. The copy I have sounds great although there's some surface noise that's really only noticeable between tracks.. -

This pressing sounds incredible. Instant smile when I played it for the first time.
