The record

Title: Metallica – Master of Puppets
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1986, Metal, Thrash Metal, San Francisco, CA
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Scene Ecology: They rose through the early ’80s Bay Area thrash circuit—tape-trading, zines, and clubs like Ruthie’s Inn spread the band before mainstream outlets cared.

  2. Band Drama: Bassist Cliff Burton died in a 1986 tour bus crash in Sweden; the band auditioned Jason Newsted almost immediately and finished the tour.

  3. Legal Trouble: Their 2000 fight with Napster turned them into a symbol of the early internet copyright war, long before streaming settled the question.

    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).
