The record

Title: Dead Kennedys – Plastic Surgery Disasters
Year/Genre/City: 1982, Hardcore Punk, San Francisco, CA
Matrix #: Virus 27
Condition: EX+ (1st press w/ booklet)

Cultural Facts:

  1. Free Speech: Jello Biafra later faced an obscenity trial tied to DK artwork/packaging—punk’s most famous courtroom clash over “harmful” culture.

  2. Scene Weapon: The booklet/zine approach made the record feel like propaganda—lyrics, collages, and context meant to travel with the vinyl.

  3. Internal Split: The band’s business and control fights eventually turned into lawsuits and bitterness, showing how political unity didn’t guarantee internal peace.

    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).
