Cultural Facts: [30]
- Multitrack Before Multitrack Was Normal: Les Paul stacked guitar and Mary Ford's vocals on disk machines in their home studio long before commercial multitrack tape was standard. How High the Moon and The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise made that kitchen science into hits.
- Mary Ford Was Colleen Summers: Mary Ford's real name was Colleen Summers. Les renamed her for the stage, and their close-mic'd unison vocals became one of the most copied sounds in early 1950s pop.
- The Guitar That Carries His Name: Gibson's Les Paul model made him a household name to guitarists who never bought a 78. This Capitol hits set is the pop-vocal side of the same tinkerer who designed solid-body electric guitars.

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).
