To coincide with the upcoming deluxe edition of\u00a0Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers<\/strong>‘ 1982 album,\u00a0<\/span>Long After Dark<\/span><\/em>, the Petty estate has released a <\/span>behind-the-scenes look<\/strong><\/span><\/a> at the making of the video for the album’s biggest single, \u201c<\/span>You Got Lucky<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted [\u2018You Got Lucky\u2019] to have this Ennio Morricone<\/strong>\/Clint Eastwood<\/strong>\u00a0Western feel,\u201d Petty explains in the video. \u201cSo when we went to write the movie, I really just wanted an excuse to go play around in the desert.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Petty notes that he knew he didn\u2019t want to lip-synch in the video, so they opted instead to make a little movie, which he describes as a \u201cscience fiction Western.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we made the ‘You Got Lucky’ film, it was a huge MTV track, though we hadn\u2019t seen MTV at that time,\u201d he says. \u201cSo I didn\u2019t try to adhere to the song or anything. I just thought we\u2019d go for a vibe. Some kind of feel that was fun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou Got Lucky”\u00a0was a top 40 hit for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, peaking at #20. It went on to become a fan favorite.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new deluxe edition of <\/span>Long After Dark<\/span><\/em> will feature the remastered original album, plus 12 bonus tracks, among them Petty’s versions of his songs “Never Be You” and “Ways to Be Wicked,” which were previously recorded by\u00a0Rosanne Cash\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Lone Justice<\/strong>, respectively. Other additional tracks were taken from sessions for French TV.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It will be\u00a0released Oct. 18 and is <\/span>available for preorder<\/strong><\/span><\/a> now.<\/span><\/p>\n
