Retronaut Selects: Tuff Darts - Tuff Darts (1978)
I first knew about this album from Spotify.
I got really into them after hearing their songs played on my friend, Chris’ radio show, “A.M. Transistor”.
I vividly recall him playing “Rats” and “Who’s Been Sleeping Here”!
One day in Double Decker Records, the record store where Chris works, I went to the T section in hopes of finding a Tank album with no luck, but instead I found Tuff Darts in the original shrinkwrap!
I recall Chris mentioning that it was a great album and he told us a little fun fact that about Tommy Frenzy’s tie being a less rich shade of red on the later pressings.
It’s a spectacular debut and I’m head over heels for it.
Essential Tracks: Who’s Been Sleeping Here, She’s Dead, Love & Trouble
