The record
Title: Van Halen – Women And Children First
Year/Genre/City: 1980, Hard Rock, Pasadena, California
Matrix #: HS3415
Condition: VG+ with Poster
Cultural Facts:
All Originals: This is the first Van Halen LP that’s all original material—no old rock ’n’ roll cover thrown in—so it reads like the moment they fully committed to being a writing band, not just a live-band-with-classics.
Band Tension: By album three, the “how commercial should we be?” push-pull was real—this era is often framed as the start of Van Halen testing darker/weirder ideas while still trying to keep the party-image machine running.
Era Marker: Dropping in 1980, it lands right as hard rock is about to pivot into the 1980s mainstream (bigger tours, bigger budgets, bigger personalities)—and Van Halen are one of the bands that made that jump feel inevitable.

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).
