Safety Last, Struck By Love, 1983 on Twin/Tone

This was the first and only full length by Twin/Tone’s Safety Last, following their self-titled EP. On this LP they include Rusty Jones, Gary Louris, Lianne Smith, and Jim Tollefsrud (as “Jimmy T”). Founding members Tim Mauseth and Sprague Hollander left for other projects.

Produced by Paul Stark and the band; recorded by Paul Stark with overdubs by Steve Fjelstad. My copy via Cheapo Records in Minneapolis.

Figures, In a Chalk Circle, 1985 on Twin/Tone

On this release, Figures was Jeff Waryan, Jay Peck, Steve Brantseg, and Steve Fjelstad. (There’s an earlier LP credited to Jeff Waryan solo that is titled Figures). Waryan was also in Fingerprints and supported many other area bands at the time.

An underappreciated Twin/Tone band from the 80s.

My copy—via Cheapo Records in Minneapolis MN—includes the original inner liner, on one side of which is the Twin/Tone catalog with their descriptions of various LPs – worth it just for that.

I’ve been a fan since the early 80s, and happy to say they keep making great albums. Recorded and mixed at Dream Hog, which is Steve Price’s studio, and produced by Chan Poling and Steve Price. Janey Winterbauer adds vocals along with […]
