Cultural Facts:
- Japan Made Them Stars First: Cheap Trick were still only modestly successful in the U.S. when they arrived in Japan in 1978 and were greeted with near-Beatlemania hysteria. At Budokan was initially meant mainly for the Japanese market before imports created huge American demand.
- The Live Version Became the Hit: āI Want You to Want Meā had already appeared on In Color, but the roaring Budokan version transformed it into a major hit and became the recording most people associate with the song.
- The Bass Had to Be Re-Recorded: Tom Petersson was using a new Hamer 12-string bass that proved difficult to capture properly at the shows. Much of his bass was later re-recorded during post-production, while the rest of the album was kept remarkably close to the live performances.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though itās 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).
