Title: The Cars – The Cars Year/Genre/City: 1978, New Wave, Boston, MA Matrix #: 6E-135 Condition: VG+
Cultural Facts:
Scene Ecology: Broke out of Boston’s club circuit (not NYC/LA), proving a regional scene could feed the new-wave mainstream fast.
Studio Lore: Producer Roy Thomas Baker applied arena-rock discipline—layered vocals, tight edits, and controlled polish on a “band” foundation.
Media Narrative: Their cool, blank visual style fit the late-’70s shift toward detached pop imagery—minimal interviews, maximum mystique.

★★★★★
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).
