The record


Title: Dr. Hook - Sometimes You Win
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1979, Pop, Soft Rock, Union City, New Jersey 6/26
Matrix #: SW-12018
Condition: EX (LM) | Members: Dennis L (49' - Alive), Ray S (37' - 18'), Billy F (42' - 10'), Jance G (44' - 06'), Rik E (45' - Alive), John W (45' - 97')
Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle: Ray Sawyer lost his right eye in a 1967 car crash, and the eyepatch became so tied to the band’s image that many casual fans thought he was “Dr. Hook.”
  2. Media Narrative: By this era, the group had moved from freaky Shel Silverstein-linked outsiders into a smoother radio act, which split the old story from the new sales machine.
  3. Band Drama: Founding guitarist George Cummings had already left years earlier, and the band kept rebuilding its identity around Locorriere and Sawyer as the public faces.

    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).
