The record

Year/Genre: 1980 New Wave
Matrix #: SP 70400
Condition: Near Mint -very clean
Description: Emerging from Los Angeles’s experimental art scene, Oingo Boingo began as a theatrical troupe before shifting toward the spiky, off-kilter rhythms that defined early new wave. This debut EP captures the band's chaotic energy and introduces Danny Elfman’s surreal lyrical style before his ascent as a legendary film composer. The record features “Only a Lad,” which became a regional cult hit, blending punk attitude with ska syncopation and synthesizer-fueled eccentricity. Released on IRS Records, this 10” EP is a snapshot of Southern California’s post-punk mutation—art-school misfits channeling Reagan-era anxieties into danceable rebellion. A foundational piece for collectors of West Coast alternative music.

    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).
