The record



Title: Janet Jackson - Control
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1986, R&B, Dance-Pop, Gary, Indiana 8/26
Matrix #: SP-3905
Condition: EX (LM) | Members: Janet J (66' - ) | Producers: Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis
Cultural Facts:

  1. Career Turning: Control marked Jackson’s break from the family-managed direction of her first two albums, giving her a far more assertive artistic identity and launching her into international superstardom.
  2. Personal Struggle: Jackson made the album after ending her marriage to James DeBarge, and themes of independence, boundaries, and taking control of her own life became central to the record.
  3. Production Style: Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis built the album around hard drum-machine grooves, sharp synthesizers, funk bass, and tightly layered vocals, helping define the sound that would become known as new jack swing.

    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).
