The record

Year/Genre/City: 1984, Pop Rock, Los Angeles
Matrix #: GHS 24026
Condition: VG+, sounds great, looks good with very light marks
Cultural Facts:
Studio Lore: Crafted with multiple producers and long studio timelines, reflecting Henley’s perfectionist approach after years inside a tightly run band structure.

Political Science: The album’s themes intersected with Cold War anxiety, environmental concern, and media saturation common in early-’80s American cultural discourse.

Media Narrative: Arrived as Henley publicly redefined himself beyond the Eagles, facing scrutiny over whether solo work could carry equal cultural weight.

    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).
