Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Brian Wilson was still battling depression, drug abuse, and years of isolation, making his uneven return to group work feel fragile rather than triumphant.
- Studio Lore: The album was partly recorded at Maharishi International University in Fairfield, Iowa, giving M.I.U. its unusual title and tying the sessions to the band's meditation-era interests.
- Band Drama: Carl and Dennis were largely disengaged from the project, leaving Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Brian to carry much of an album made during one of the band's most fractured periods.

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).
