Approximately 10 x 13 inches.
This vintage 1979 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers magazine advertisement promotes 'Damn the Torpedoes,' the landmark album that catapulted the band to superstardom. The original print ad features a striking full-length color photograph of Tom Petty against a bold red backdrop, Rickenbacker guitar in hand — pure late-1970s rock attitude captured in a single frame. Released on Backstreet/MCA Records and produced by Tom Petty and Jimmy Iovine, 'Damn the Torpedoes' became one of the defining records of its decade. A highly collectible ad for serious rock music and pop culture enthusiasts.
