The record
Year/Genre: 1971, Power Pop
Matrix #: SW-3387
Condition: VG, plays great, some marks
Cultural Facts:
-
Released in 1971, Badfinger were one of the most visible “next wave” bands in the Beatles’ orbit, coming out of Apple Records at a time when the industry was actively hunting for post-Beatles heirs.
-
The album’s backstory is tangled with famous names and chaos: producer changes, label pressure, and big-league involvement around the sessions—classic early-’70s major-label rock machinery working at full speed.
-
Badfinger’s later story became one of rock’s darkest cautionary tales about money, management, and exploitation—why this record often gets discussed not just as music, but as evidence of how badly artists could be chewed up by the business.
Price Suggestions:
NM: $40–55
VG+: $28–38
VG: $18–26
G+: $10–15

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).
