Cultural Facts:
- Origin Story: After seeing Star Wars repeatedly during its opening weekend, Meco Monardo became convinced that John Williams’ score could work as disco and quickly began developing an orchestral dance version.
- Career Turning: The album’s “Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band” medley became a massive crossover hit and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, turning Meco into the defining name in late-1970s space disco.
- Studio Lore: Rather than simply covering the movie themes, Meco surrounded Williams’ melodies with synthesizers, funk rhythms, orchestral arrangements, and sound effects, creating a full dance-floor reinterpretation of the Star Wars universe.

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).
