RARE! 1976 US ORIGINAL SHELTER RECORDS SRL52006, FIRST ALBUM BY THE NOW ICONIC AMERICAN BAND! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL SHELTER, NOT AN IMPORT, NOT AN MCA LATER PRESSING. NO BAR CODE, NO CUT, NO PUNCH. THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT RECORD STORAGE IMPRESSION, AND THE SHRINK HAS SEPARATED ABOUT AN INCH AT THE THE TOP OF THE 'MOUTH', OTHERWISE THE SHRINK IS NICE & CLEAN, COMPLETE. WE HAVE REINFORCED THE SHRINK WITH A SMALL PIECE OF EASILY REMOVABLE CLEAR TAPE TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER MOVEMENT OF THIS SEPARATION DURING STORAGE AND SHIPPING.  

THIS IS THE ALBUM THAT GAVE THE WORLD NOT ONLY "BREAKDOWN" BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY "AMERICAN GIRL" WHICH HAS BECOME AN ANTHEM FOR THE BAND, EVEN BEING COVERED BY NONE OTHER THAN THE BAND'S BIGGEST INFLUENCE - ROGER McGUINN, WHO SAID THAT WHEN HE HEARD IT ON THE RADIO FOR THE FIRST TIME HE THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING HE HIMSELF HAD RECORDED AND FORGOTTEN ABOUT! SO, HE IMMEDTELY COVERED IT. 32 YEARS LATER, PETTY & CREW STILL PLAY IT IN CONCERT. 

SOME PEOPLE, MYSELF INCLUDED, CONSIDER THE HEARTBREAKERS THE AMERICAN BEATLES, OR CERTAINLY THE HEIR APPARENT TO ALL THINGS CLASSIC ROCK, BRITISH INVASION, BYRDS, BEATLES, ANIMALS, FOLK ROCK, ALL THE COOL STUFF. LONG MAY THEY REIGN!

HERE'S THE WIKIPEDIA SNAPSHOT HISTORY OF THE BAND & THIS ALBUM:

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers is the self-titled debut album, released in late 1976.

Initially following its release, it received little attention in the USA. Following a UK tour, it climbed to the UK's top 30. After nearly a year and many positive UK reviews, the album reached the American charts, where it climbed to No. 55 and eventually went gold. The song "Anything That's Rock & Roll" became a hit single in the UK, "Breakdown" achieved top 40 success, and "American Girl" became a radio staple which can still be heard today.
