I knew TP played the Rickenbacker 12-string, but I never gave him his due.
If yer one a' those guys who just goes into heat at the sound of the 12-string Ric, you gotta love Petty. I think I'd have to rate his work with that particular guitar as the best, even better than Roger McGuinn.

Get a copy of McGuinn's Back from Rio and you can listen to both McGuinn and Petty go at it with Rickenbacker's on the song King of the Hill.
Back From Rio is one of those Lost Classics.

Hey great record! Roger's real name is Jim. Imagine changing your name from Jim to Roger- can't figure?Where did you get your Back From Rio copy on vinyl? I just checked E-Bay, Music Direct and Red Trumpet? I've had the cd since it first came out. Also saw Roger at the Ark (folk club) in Ann Arbor a couple of years ago. One of my favorite live performances to date.
Got it at Jerry's Records in Pittsburgh. Browsing the stacks and there it was.
It's rare on vinyl--Hell, it's not all that easy to find on CD anymore, out of print and you have to get it used.
Jerry says that the mid-1980's to early 1990's stuff is very tough to find and you just have to get lucky.

along with Mike Campbell. When I saw them play this past June, I was mesmerized by the size of their touring guitar collection. Seemed like each picked a new axe for each song. And they played a LOT of songs.
What about the Wilbury's? On the "great and great sounding Rock lps" list in Absolute sound last month. Got it Pristine-superclean for ten bucks in Memphis last week. Can't find "wildflowers" but would love to.
I really loved the disc back when it was released. That first Wilburys record is Stellar !
Had the CD since it was issued.
The LP trounces the CD. The CD is overboosted and compressed as hell.
