Anthology: Through the Years is a double compilation album featuring the best of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It contains a new song, "Surrender", written by Petty during the Damn the Torpedoes sessions, but recorded in 2000 especially for this release. "Surrender" is also the last studio recording of Howie Epstein before his death.
Anthology: Through the Years was released on October 31, 2000, and would mark the lowest chart-positioning on the Billboard 200 for the band at #87. However, in November 2006, the album was certified Gold (equilvalent to 500,000 copies sold) by the RIAA.
All songs were written by Tom Petty, except where noted.
