Tom Petty - Rolling Stone - July 1981

05.03.08 | Comment?

I really want this Rolling Stone cover. It was an important moment in the music industry. It was the the record biz vs. Tom. His label (MCA) wanted to jack up the price of his album “Hard Promises”. He single-handedly put up a fight and the label eventually balked and the album was released at a lower price. Thank you Tom, you are my hero!
