Anthology: Through the Years
Anthology: Through the Years is a double compilation album featuring the best of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It contains a new song, "Surrender", written by Petty during the You're Gonna Get It! sessions, but recorded in 2000 especially for this release. "Surrender" is also the last studio recording of Howie Epstein before his death.
