Cultural Facts:
- Cipollina After Quicksilver: Copperhead was formed by guitarist John Cipollina after leaving Quicksilver Messenger Service. The band pushed toward a tougher, more R&B-heavy rock sound than his former group and became part of the early-’70s Bay Area club circuit.
- A Columbia Deal That Fell Apart Fast: Copperhead signed with Columbia Records during Clive Davis’s tenure, but Davis was forced out shortly after the album appeared. The label subsequently dropped several Bay Area acts connected to his signing spree, leaving Copperhead’s debut with little promotional support.
- Their Only Studio Album: Despite extensive live activity, this became Copperhead’s sole studio LP. It was recorded between late 1972 and early 1973 at studios including the Record Plant and Columbia facilities around California, making it a fascinating one-album snapshot of post-psychedelic San Francisco rock.

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).
