Cultural Facts:
Street Roots: The Persuasions built their whole identity around “no instruments, no gimmicks”—a true street-corner vocal group concept carried into the LP era, when most acts were getting louder and more produced.
Industry Myth: Their origin story is tied to getting noticed by major tastemakers in the early ’70s—one of those rare cases where a pure live-style vocal group got pulled into the rock/soul industry without changing what they were.
Repertoire Flex: They became famous for taking songs outside traditional doo-wop—rock, folk, and soul—and making them work a cappella, which helped keep old vocal-group technique relevant to newer audiences.

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).
