The record
1968, Soul
Matrix #: CRS 8001
Condition: Very clean, hardly a mark on it. Sounds Clean (VG+)
Description:
Released in 1968 on Curtis Mayfield’s Curtom label, This Is My Country marked a bold step into politically conscious soul for The Impressions. Hailing from Chicago, the group infused smooth harmonies with socially charged lyrics that addressed Black pride and civil rights. The title track stands as one of Mayfield’s most poignant statements, while “They Don’t Know” and “Stay Close to Me” balance optimism with awareness. This album helped shape the trajectory of message-driven soul music in a turbulent era and remains a landmark in both sound and spirit.

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).
