The Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – Long After Dark (BSR 5360) LP is the original 1982 US pressing of the band's fifth studio album. This record is a key bridge in Petty’s career, moving from the raw rock of the 1970s into the synth-accented, polished production of the early MTV era.

-
The Sound: The album is famous for the hit "You Got Lucky," which utilized a prominent synthesizer riff—a departure from the band's traditional guitar-heavy sound.
