@POWERPLANTRECORDS | PowerPlantRecords.com | Leave a positive Google review! Title: Alice in Chains – Alice in Chains (Three-Legged Dog)Year/Genre: 1995, GrungeCondition: New Cultural Facts: Made with Layne Staley increasingly unreachable—sessions ran on strict windows, and the band’s “unit” vibe was replaced by damage control. The dog cover leaned into the era’s freak-show/medical imagery trend, but it also became a shorthand for the band’s public sense of injury and survival. Dropped ...

Title: Nirvana – California Über Alles (Hollywood 1990 FM Broadcast)Year/Genre: 1990, Grunge (Live)Condition: New Cultural Facts: Pre-Nevermind Hollywood club-era Nirvana, when they were still a van band and West Coast radio captures felt like rare evidence.

Title: L7 – Bricks Are HeavyYear/Genre: 1992, Grunge / PunkCondition: New Cultural Facts: Produced by Butch Vig right as alt-rock money flooded in; L7 used the bigger platform without softening their confrontational public stance.

Title: Nirvana – 1991: The Year Grunge BrokeYear/Genre: 1991, Documentary / LiveCondition: New Cultural Facts: Often a retitle of Dave Markey’s Sonic Youth tour film 1991: The Year Punk Broke, where Nirvana show up right as their breakout was starting. Heavy on handheld/backstage and small European rooms—more “tour life” than concert film, which is why tape traders chased it. Commonly a grey-market title; copies vary a lot by source tape, added clips, and audio quality depending on the ...
