Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Edgar Allan Poe’s life was marked by orphaning, poverty, alcoholism, and the death of his young wife Virginia from tuberculosis, giving this Poe-based concept album real human darkness behind the theater.
- Studio Lore: Alan Parsons came into this debut with serious studio pedigree, having engineered for The Beatles and Pink Floyd, then turned The Project into a producer-led “invisible band.”
- Player Spotlight: The album used a studio cast instead of a fixed rock band, including members of Pilot and Ambrosia, making it feel more like a cinematic production than a normal debut LP.

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).
