The record
Title: Bob James - Obsession
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1986, Jazz, Smooth Jazz Fusion, Marshall, Missouri 6/26
Matrix #: 1-25495
Condition: EX (LM) | Members: Bob J (39' - Alive)
Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: James spent years catching heat from jazz purists who treated his polished crossover sound like a sellout move, even as later hip-hop producers turned those records into sacred sample material.
- Studio Lore: Obsession sits in his Warner Bros. era, full of mid-80s synth textures, clean studio drums, and the glossy keyboard sound that separated it from his grittier CTI years.
- Scene Ecology: By this point James was moving between jazz radio, TV-theme fame, session work, and the sample universe that would later make his catalog a secret backbone of hip-hop.

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).
