The record


Title: The Romantics - In Heat
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1983, New Wave, Power Pop, Detroit, Michigan 11/26
Matrix #: BFZ 38880
Condition: VG+++ (LM) | Members: The Romantics (N/A) | Producer: Peter Solley
Cultural Facts: [32]

  1. Talking in Your Sleep Was the Breakthrough: In Heat finally gave the Detroit power-pop band a massive US hit with Talking in Your Sleep after years of club buzz and the earlier single What I Like About You.
  2. Peter Solley at the Desk: Producer Peter Solley, who had worked with the Cars' orbit and other new-wave acts, tightened the Romantics into MTV-ready punch without sanding off the Detroit beat.
  3. Red Leather from the Motor City: The Romantics leaned hard into red leather and matching suits as a brand. It looked like a gimmick until the songs on In Heat proved they could still write hooks under the costume.

    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).
