The record

Title: Weather Report – Sportin’ Life
Year/Genre/City: 1985, Jazz / Jazz Fusion, New York City
Matrix #: FC 39908
Condition: VG++

Cultural Facts:

Band Drama: By the mid-’80s, the group functioned more like a rotating project around Joe Zawinul, with personnel changes shaping each new phase.
Studio Lore: The era leaned into synth-driven production and tighter editing, reflecting how fusion adapted to digital studios and radio-era mix aesthetics.
Media Narrative: Late-period Weather Report was often judged against its ’70s peak, illustrating how “innovation” becomes a moving target once a band defines a genre.

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).
