@POWERPLANTRECORDS | PowerPlantRecords.com | Leave a positive Google review! Title: The Jesus and Mary Chain – PsychocandyYear/Genre: 1985, Alternative RockCondition: New Cultural Facts: Early gigs were notorious for being extremely short and confrontational—sometimes ending in chaos, which became part of the band’s marketing myth.

Title: Stone Temple Pilots – PurpleYear/Genre: 1994, Grunge / Alternative RockMatrix #: 82607-1Condition: New Cultural Facts: The cover art mimics vintage Chinese apothecary packaging, but the title also nods to a heroin “brand” circulating in L.A.’s early ’90s music scene. Recorded in Atlanta with producer Brendan O’Brien, the album showcased a confident step beyond the band’s grunge debut. The record debuted at #1 on Billboard and solidified STP’s place among the defining acts of 1990...

Title: Soundgarden – Superunknown (Marbled)Year/Genre: 1994, GrungeCondition: New (sealed) Cultural Facts: During recording, the band reportedly buried a reel of unused tapes in the backyard of producer Michael Beinhorn’s studio as a prank.
