The record

Title: The Cure – Seventeen Seconds
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1980, Rock, Post-Punk, Crawley, England
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Recorded at Morgan Studios with Mike Hedges; budget limits pushed restraint, and Robert Smith kept the arrangements deliberately sparse.

  2. Band Drama: The lineup was shifting and tense; key members were already drifting out, and Smith started consolidating control as the band’s anchor.

  3. Personal Struggle: Smith has described early depression and self-medication habits forming young, writing from a place of numbness and dissociation rather than rock-star drama.

    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).
