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!
