Cultural Facts: [24]
- A Compilation Built While He Was Alive: Smash Hits was assembled in 1968 while the Experience was still touring, collecting UK and US A-sides and album cuts for listeners who only knew the singles. It is not a posthumous cash-in.
- Red House Was Almost Left Off US Radio: The blues Red House was a staple of Hendrix's live sets, but US radio leaned on Purple Haze and Foxey Lady. Putting Red House on Smash Hits helped American buyers hear how deep his blues playing went.
- Mitch Mitchell's Jazz Hands: Drummer Mitch Mitchell came out of the British jazz scene and played with Georgie Fame before Hendrix. His loose, Elvin Jones-influenced fills are a big reason the Experience records still sound elastic instead of stiff.

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).
