Cultural Facts:

  1. Album Art: The Vargas-style cover by Alberto Vargas stirred attention fast, giving the band a sleek fantasy image that contrasted with their detached public vibe.

  2. Band Drama: Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr shared history, ambition, and tension, with old friendship and quiet rivalry both shaping the band’s chemistry.

  3. Media Narrative: Critics often framed them as cold or calculated, but that distance became part of why they stood out during late 70s rock’s identity shift.

    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).
