Upon production, Wildflowers was a double album with 25 songs but it was suggested it was too long. It was shortened to the 15 songs found on the original release. In 2020 the family and band mates of Petty did re-release of the album, Wildflowers & All the Rest. The re-issue includes the deleted songs along with demos, and live tracks.
