The Tom Petty Estate has unveiled a music video for an extended, newly mixed version of the beloved Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song “Fooled Again (I Don’t Like It)” via UMe.
Directed by Alan Bibby, who also directed the “Wildflowers” music video, the visual draws on the band’s 1978 performance on the BBC’s The Old Grey Whistle Test. The single is the latest release from the upcoming album, Origins 1971-1978.
A comprehensive new box set celebrating the 50th anniversary of the band, the album is due out on November 6 via UMe. Origins 1971-1978 is available to pre-order here.
The collection will be available in three configurations: a 5LP box set, a 4CD box set and an uber deluxe edition, each with a Blu-ray and a DVD. The centerpiece of the vinyl editions is an 88-page fanzine featuring liner notes by David Fricke and Bud Scoppa.
Premiering on what would have been Petty’s 76th birthday, the video sets the new extended mix to a fresh visual take on the band’s electrifying Old Grey Whistle Test set, the U.K. appearance that marked their international breakthrough. Legendary BBC host Bob Harris, who wrote an essay for the box set’s Blu-ray booklet, remembers it as “one of the greatest performances we had ever seen by a band at the top of their game.” The full 41-minute performance is included in the box set, presented in HD for the first time with restored audio.
“Fooled Again (I Don’t Like It)” first appeared on the band’s 1976 debut, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
The Tom Petty Estate continued its 50th anniversary celebrations last week with the opening of the Tom Petty Collection at Morrison Hotel Gallery at the Sunset Marquis.
