Matrix #: OSR-LPM-5001
Condition: VG+, sounds great, lots of very light marks

Cultural Facts:

  1. Media Narrative: Art Laboeā€™s ā€œOldies but Goodiesā€ branding helped turn nostalgia into a mass-market LP series and radio format.

  2. Political Science: His El Monte Legion Stadium dances drew mixed-race crowds outside LA city limits, sidestepping segregation-era rules.

  3. Personal Struggle: Laboeā€™s parents divorced when he was 13; he moved to South-Central LA with his sister and built his life around radio.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though itā€™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).
