Great info Brad. I can add only the following. On their drive from Florida to L.A. to pursue a recording contract, Mudcrunch stopped in Tulsa Oklahoma to talk with The Dwight Twilley Band, to get their advice and possible connections. The DTB Sincerely album had come out, and made quite an impression on Tom and the boys (as well as a lot of others). Dwight, Phil Seymour (drums & vocals), and Bill Pitcock !V (guitar) had recorded Sincerely in Tulsa, but upon relocating to L.A. themselves did their recordings at the Shelter Studio in Hollywood. Petty and crew did so as well. Listen to the first Twilley solo album, and compare it to the first TP & THB album. Hear how they both suffer from a slight "phasey" problem? The studio, and it's recording engineers Max and Noah, were not State-Of-The-Art!
Tom Petty Box Sets
Got the two new Tom Petty Box Sets and was wondering if anyone else out there has them and what you think of them. I've been playing them for a couple of days and have to say being a Tom Petty fan it's great to have all these albums on 180 gram and thou the price for both Sets comes in at close to $500 you get 16 albums which comes to around $31 a LP. The albums sound great viny is quite, not as "Hot" as the Stones Mono set. If your a Tom Petty fan and can afford it this is a must have.
