The record
Title: Nina Simone – Strange Fruit
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1965, Jazz, Vocal Jazz, New York City
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Political Science: Simone treated civil-rights material as career risk, not branding—venues and promoters feared backlash, and she took the fight anyway.
-
Media Narrative: She was marketed as “high culture” (Carnegie Hall–level respectability), then weaponized that platform to deliver protest narratives.
-
Band Drama: Her perfectionism and volatility shaped every room—musicians describe sessions as high-pressure, with Simone’s mood controlling the take.

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).
