In 2008, Ulyate began going through Petty's live archive and created an iTunes library of 170 concerts with a total of 3,509 performances of 400 unique songs.

"I made sure Tom and Mike heard every song they ever did", Ulyate said, "And I ranked the concerts with a star system."

"Shadow of a Doubt (A Complex Kid)", "Don't Do Me Like That" and Eddie Cochran's "Somethin' Else" performed at the Hammersmith Odeon, March 6, 1980, were released on the deluxe edition of Damn the Torpedoes.

On November 22, 2009, prior to the release of the standard and digital formats, Best Buy stores offered an 'exclusive' "Deluxe Edition" of the box set.

The packaging for this edition also includes a concert poster, backstage pass reproductions, a deluxe booklet, a lithograph and more bonus materials.
