It seems to be unavailable to order on Amazon — and also missing on Spotify.
On the whole I am quite partial to piano (or other instrument) transcriptions if done well. Liszt did some great ones of Beethoven Symphonies etc.
Well, when you put it that way there's only one logical solution. The bookstore a mile from my house has it very inexpensively. I'll grab it and will through the mysterious ways of the internet grant you access so that you can listen and let me/us know what you think, good or bad.

front... can't really listen to music right now. Copied my iTunes library to an external drive now connected to a Windows laptop since the Apple Store said my Mac mini's internal drive is beginning to fail. Of course, I could listen on my iPhone... except just now, for the fourth time in a week my phone has spontaneously deleted all its music files. Nothing else. Just the music. All of it -- and while syncing... and while iTunes itself didn't blink and was unaware of the deletions. Several phone calls and a previous appointment on this matter and I'm going in again tomorrow.

Thinking again of Mr. Petty (with the help of his fellow Wilbury), but also on thereality distortion fieldwalled garden. A series of frustrating developments. All things pass indeed.
Back to Tom Petty, he does a yeoman's job on rhythm guitar during a Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame tribute to George Harrison but the real star is the also-gone-too-soon Prince's searing guitar solo as the song nears the end.
