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
