The record

Year/Genre/City: 1969, Soul, Washington, D.C.
Matrix #: SD 8230
Condition: VG+, sounds great, looks good, some light marks

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Recorded largely after-hours, the sessions leaned on restraint and space, treating silence as an active compositional choice.

  2. Media Narrative: The album gained delayed recognition, reshaped by film and radio placement rather than immediate chart momentum.

  3. Family Ties: Classically trained, Flack balanced conservatory discipline with community-based music education, informing her control and phrasing.

    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).
