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.

One of my favorite songs by the best band from the 90s #Kalamazoo scene (even if they're from Battle Creek). They almost got signed to #TwinTone!
