The Tom Petty Estate has opened the late icon’s vault with the long-awaited streaming release of Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party. The 1983 film directed by Cameron Crowe, the director of Almost Famous, and Jerry Maguire was presented only once on MTV in February 1983 before being shelved and forgotten.
