What Was First: Twin/Tone Records

Episode 1360,   May 06, 2022, 07:00 AM

It's another edition of What Was First to close out the week!

Based on listener suggestions, Patrick takes a peek into the historical record to locate the first release on influential Minneapolis label Twin/Tone Records.

In a nice bit of symmetry, the first record on the label was a release by The Suburbs! A nine-song, 7" EP titled simply "The Suburbs."

Hit play and head back to 1978 for a bite-size musical history lesson.
