Well, I WANT that version! I really love the 'Mudcrutch' album, musically it's better than anything Petty did after at least 'She's the one' IMO.

But I really don't like the way the CD sounds. It IS hyper-limited even for Petty's own standards (he always used a lot of compression on his records). It's somewhat irritating because the music has such a great early-70ies 'Cosmic Country' vibe and that sound was pretty much the anthithesis of today's ultra-loudness I'd say.
