Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1978, Rock, Classic Rock, London, England
Matrix #: BSK 3266

Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Mark Knopfler’s father fled Hungary in 1939 to escape the Nazis; that refugee history sat behind the band’s rise.
- Band Drama: Tensions between Mark and his brother David later got so bad that David quit during the next album’s sessions.
- Scene Ecology: “Sultans of Swing” first broke because DJ Charlie Gillett spun the demo after MCA had passed on them.

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).
