The record

Unoff. release.

Title: The Smiths – The Queen Is Dead Sessions 
Year/Genre: 1985, Post-Punk
Condition: New, repackaged at Power Plant

Cultural Facts:

  1. Mid-era “studio leak” culture: rough takes circulated through cassette trading and grey-market pressings, long before official archive releases.

  2. The band’s internal stress was already public—press feuds, touring strain, and money-control arguments feeding a collapse narrative in real time.

  3. “Sessions” titles like this often stitch multiple sources; different runs can swap takes, dates, and edits while keeping the same story on the sleeve.

    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).
