Title: The B-52's - The B-52's Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1979, Pop/Rock, New Wave, Athens Matrix #: BSK 3355 Condition: EX (LM) Cultural Facts:
Personal Struggle The band came out of pure outsider energy, not pro-musician polish. Fred Schneider was already older than most new-wave breakouts, and the group built itself from art-school misfit chemistry.
Scene Ecology This debut helped turn Athens, Georgia into a real map point in American underground music, proving weird college-town bands could break nationally.
Studio Lore Ricky Wilson's guitar tunings were the secret weapon. He built strange, minimal chord shapes that made the whole record feel off-center and instantly theirs.

★★★★★
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).
