"i picked this record up in the early 90's for a mere 99 cents at NRM . this album has already outlived NRM so hah hah !!!! . i bought it cuz the cover was hilarious in that glam-rock way . David Drew has a fringe leather jacket , a peace sign on his shirt , and an ammo belt to balance out the peace sign .

huge hair . i would listen to it here & there because i thought it absurd ,,,,, but over time i grew to genuinely enjoy the album . the production and lyrics are not always to my liking , but are indicative of that L.A. rock era . the only throw-away track in my opinion is the cover of "green-eyed lady" . if this same album was released by an artist with a bigger name( at the time) , i believe it would have yielded some hit singles . especially BILLY IDOL . i have since aquired three mint condition copies of this on vinyl . worth a listen .

where are you David Drew ? holler at a fan ."

"Safety Love could have been one of the greatest albums of the decade... if it had only been released a few years earlier. Once you hear the soulful beginning of Machine Gun Love or the moving lyrics of Queen of the Night, you will never be able to listen to other 80s rock artists quite the same way.



Clearly influenced by Billy Idol, Mr. Drew delivers one of the most memorable performances of 1988.
