The record
Unoff. release.
Title: The Offspring – Early Recordings
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1989, Rock, Hardcore Punk, Garden Grove, CA
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Scene Ecology: Early Offspring lived in the Orange County backyard/warehouse circuit—cops, curfews, and constant venue churn shaping how bands operated.
-
Studio Lore: These tapes were usually cut on tiny budgets with “proof” as the goal—tight songs recorded fast so promoters and labels could hear you.
-
Media Narrative: Early-recording comps exist because the official arc started later; once the band blew up, every pre-fame scrap got treated as an origin relic.

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).
