The record

Title: Elvis Costello – Talking Liberties
Year/Genre/City: 1978, New Wave, London, UK
Matrix #: Talking LibertiesJC36839
Condition: EX

Cultural Facts:

Media Narrative: Issued first in the U.S., it helped codify Costello’s early public persona through live takes and pointed between-song patter.
Scene Ecology: Documents the late-’70s club-to-theater jump as UK punk/new wave acts rapidly became international touring draws.
Band Drama: The Attractions’ tight lineup became a defining unit, but early success also set up the control and credit tensions that followed later.

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).
