$35.00
The record
Year/Genre/City: 1971, Soul / R&B, Washington, D.C.
Matrix #: SD 1594
Condition: EX, sounds great; has some light marks
Cultural Facts:
Teacher Years: Before she was famous, Flack worked as a schoolteacher in the D.C. area and played local club sets at night—her career started as a double life, not a fast-track industry launch.
Discovery Tape: Her break is tied to a live club performance that was recorded and passed around by insiders; that tape led to her Atlantic deal, a rare “heard it in a room” origin story.
Human Control: She was known for insisting on dignity in how she was presented—pushing back on being packaged as a novelty and steering her own image and choices in an era that often tried to control women singers.

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).
