The record

Title: Frank Zappa – Zoot Allures
Year/Genre/City: 1976, Rock, Los Angeles, CA
Matrix #: BS 2970
Condition: EX

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: A largely Zappa-driven build—he tracked a lot himself, then treated the studio like a lab for edits, overdubs, and precision fixes.

  2. Legal Trouble: Mid-’70s Zappa was in constant fights with labels over masters and money; he pushed hard for ownership and control.

  3. Media Narrative: His “comedy” reputation sometimes hid how seriously he wanted to be taken as a composer—press kept reducing him to satire.

    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).
