The record

Title: The Romans – You Only Live Once
Matrix #: A4706 / Punk
Condition: VG+ (sounds great)
Description: Clean copy; light cosmetic wear with strong playback. Graded visually; play-tested where noted.

Cultural Facts:

  1. 1983 – Los Angeles, CA. Early-’80s SoCal post-punk made by art-scene lifers, landing between new wave sheen and underground DIY energy.

  2. Surf-tinged guitars. The record leans on reverb-drenched lines and driving rhythms—pulling from California surf tradition while keeping a minimalist post-punk pulse.

  3. LA club era artifact. Fits the same independent circuit that fed college radio and venues like Anti-Club/Club Lingerie—now a cult favorite lane for crate-diggers seeking left-of-center West Coast sounds.     

  4. 11/1825 TC

    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).
