The record
Year/Genre/City: 1973, Pop Rock, London, UK
Matrix #: MCA -2100
Condition: VG+, sounds great; looks good with a few very light marks
Cultural Facts:
-
Studio Lore: Peak Elton/Dee Murray/Nigel Olsson/Davey Johnstone band chemistry—tracked fast because they were touring constantly.
-
Scene Ecology: The Elton/Bernie partnership came out of London’s songwriter-for-hire world, then exploded via U.S. arena circuits.
-
Album Art: The cover’s pulp-comic crime scene was staged as a tongue-in-cheek persona piece—Elton leaning into character over “authentic” rock posturing.

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).
