The record


Title: Earth Quake - 8.5
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1976 Hard Rock, Berkeley, California 8/26
Matrix #: BZ-0047
Condition: EX (LM) | Members: Earth Quake (N/A)
Cultural Facts:

  1. Scene Ecology: Earth Quake became one of the foundational bands of Berkeley’s Beserkley Records scene, alongside Jonathan Richman and Greg Kihn.
  2. Personal Struggle: After two early albums for A&M failed to establish the band commercially, Earth Quake endured label disappointment and rebuilt its career through the small independent Beserkley operation.
  3. Production Style: 8.5 sharpened the group’s mix of crunchy guitars, energetic rhythm playing, and melodic hooks, bridging 1970s hard rock with the emerging power-pop sound.

8/8/26 LM

    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).
