Unoff. release.
Title: Operation Ivy – 1988 “Energy” Demo
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1988, Rock, Ska Punk, Berkeley, CA
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Scene Ecology: Captures the Gilman Street ecosystem in real time—teen-run DIY rules, all-ages ethics, and a scene that policed commercial behavior.
-
Studio Lore: Demo-era recordings were functional documents—made to get shows, trade tapes, and tighten arrangements before studio budgets existed.
-
Media Narrative: The band’s short lifespan turned every scrap into canon; later Rancid/Green Day success made early Op Ivy artifacts feel like origin files.

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).
