The record

Cultural Facts:

  1. A document of the early-’70s touring grind—motel life as America’s moving backstage, with boredom and paranoia as the real scenery.

  2. Zappa’s L.A. worldview: satire aimed at TV culture, hippie mythology, and the business logic swallowing counterculture.

  3. Built around a shifting Mothers lineup era, reflecting how Zappa treated bands like rotating ensembles in a larger long-term project.

    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).
