Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Tower Of Power came out of Oakland’s tough club circuit, building their reputation through nonstop live work before radio fully caught up to their horn-heavy funk sound.
- Studio Lore: Bump City introduced their classic horn-section punch, tight rhythm guitar, deep bass pocket, and streetwise East Bay soul into a major-label setting.
- Scene Ecology: The album helped define the Oakland funk identity, linking soul vocals, jazz-trained horns, Latin flavor, and hard rhythmic discipline into one unmistakable band sound.

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).
