The record
Year/Genre: 1975 Steelpan Funk
Matrix #: West Side Boys – 1002
Condition: Near Mint!
Description: Trinidad-born Carl McKnight was a key figure in the Miami-based steelband and dub scenes of the 1970s. Sweat & Steel – The Devil’s Out Tonight is a rare and highly sought-after private press instrumental LP, blending heavy funk rhythms, haunting dub effects, and raw steelpan leads. Released on the tiny West Side Boys label, this album embodies the cross-cultural experimentation brewing in South Florida, where Caribbean immigrants fused traditional sounds with American funk and soul. Its deep grooves and spooky, reverb-laden textures make it a cult classic for crate diggers and sample hunters alike.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
