The record

Title: Nine Inch Nails – Pretty Hate Machine
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1989, Rock, Industrial Rock, Cleveland, OH
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Reznor built the early NIN material after hours while working at a Cleveland studio, treating downtime like unpaid studio time.

  2. Legal Trouble: A messy contract fight with TVT locked up momentum and shaped his long-running distrust of labels and control.

  3. Media Narrative: MTV’s late-night alternative rotation helped a one-person project break nationally before radio had a lane for it.

    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).
