It ended up being Petty's only album for American Recordings, as that label moved to Columbia Records distribution in 2007; Warner Bros. retained the rights to Petty, eventually reassigning him to subsidiary label Reprise Records.
В итоге "Highway Companion" оказался единственным альбомом на American Recordings: в 2005 году лейбл был поглощён Columbia Records, а права на записи The Heartbreakers сохранил за собой Warner Bros. Records.
