    Tom Petty Hypnotic Eye 2-LP version is currently under $20 shipped from 3 different 3rd party sellers. I just got a shipping notice from importcds but I guess there's a risk that they'll actually ship the 1 LP version. However, if you look at the single LP listing, 2 of the 3 sellers have the single LP listed for around $25 shipped. I figured it was worth a shot.

    Update: Just received my package from importcds and indeed they did ship me the 2 LP version. At $15.43 plus shipping this is a great deal. Compare to amazon at $37.90, $49.97 at bullmoose, and $50.98 at amoeba.

    This is so, so tempting. I've got the single disc version, but I love this album so much I might have to go for it!

    I haven't heard the single disc version but the 2 disc version sounds outstanding to me. I didn't expect to like this album as much as I do. And the eye etching on the 4th side is actually pretty cool looking for a side without music.

    This album has been in constant rotation for me since it came out and I was not expecting that. I'll venture to say that its gonna end up being seen as one of his late classics. Jesus, Faultlines is one of the greatest things he's ever done. The perfect middle age song for me at least.:laugh:

    I was really surprised how good the guitars sounded on this one. The lead guitar sound in particular is thick and beefy and it sounds like the whole band is recorded in a big room. I've bought and listened to 11 Tom Petty albums this week and this is definitely in the top 3 for me.

    I just got the 2 disc version (still the same price from importcd's) and did a brief comparision with the single disc and noticed it was a little louder, but fuller. It responds a little more nicely to a clockwise motion on the volume knob than the single disc version. Throw in the extra track and for me it was worth the double dip at <20 bucks.

    I also noticed the timings in the 2 LP set are all longer, between a few and 30 seconds each. I haven't directly compared, I'm guessing perhaps longer fades or maybe nothing at all?

    Arrived today.

    Many thanks for the heads up!

    I received my Petty Hypnotic Eye 2 lp. Have to say I was disappointed with the packaging. A soft mailer that resulted in a big corner ding and some seam splitting but based on what I read about Import CD's lack of good customer service, I'm just gonna choose to suck it up and avoid hassle although these things tend to get under my skin. I did buy it for the sound so I am happy about the price. Haven't played it yet but vinyl looks nice, without blemishes. Appreciate the heads-up on the deal!

    I bought this as well, and was pleased to find that the digital download came in both the 320 mp3 and the 24/48 FLAC. While I don't need the mp3, I was going to buy the hi-res files from HDTracks - now I don't have to.

    Not bad for +/- $15!

    Btw, I needledropped "Shadow People" which shows 7:19 on the double LP, but 6:43 on the other versions. The needledrop was 6:43, so I'm not sure why the labels show the different timings.

    The Blu ray has the bonus track tacked onto the end of Shadow People. It also has it as a separate track.

    Just another THANK YOU to Naughty Chord for the Tom Petty Hypnotic Eye tip! I received mine today.
    As a Petty fan, I'm happy to have this two-disc version, and I'm looking forward to giving it a spin tonight!
    Despite importcd's soft mailer (c'mon, how about a box?), my elpee survived the journey without any blemishes to the cover whatsoever. I'm a happy man tonight. :D
