American Power Pop For The Now Generation LP RSD 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoul Jazz Records’ new ‘POWER POP! American Power Pop For\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Now Generation 1977-1981’ brings together a wealth of\u003cbr\u003e\npunk\/power pop\/new wave tunes from American bands that were all\u003cbr\u003e\noriginally released in the USA on small and independent labels in the\u003cbr\u003e\nlate-70s\/early-80s.\u003cbr\u003e\nTaking both their do-it-yourself aesthetic and super-charged adrenalin\u003cbr\u003e\nfrom punk and new wave, these groups also harked back to the\u003cbr\u003e\ngolden age of pop music of the 1960s and 1970s with their soaring\u003cbr\u003e\nsing-a-long melodies.\u003cbr\u003e\nMost of these records were self-published private-press 45s, made in\u003cbr\u003e\nvery limited-editions and were often the only tracks ever released by\u003cbr\u003e\nthese groups. Original copies of these singles fetch crazy prices –\u003cbr\u003e\nsuch as Ambulance’s ‘It’s All Up to You’ (£400+), The Normals’\u003cbr\u003e\n‘Hardcore’ (£300+), or the Fingers’ ‘Isolation’ (last sold on Discogs for\u003cbr\u003e\n£2,960!).\u003cbr\u003e\nDespite their rarity these records remain both beautifully crafted 3-\u003cbr\u003e\nminute musical gems, and long-lost micro-histories of an essentially\u003cbr\u003e\nhidden genre. The album comes with extensive sleevenotes and\u003cbr\u003e\nexclusive photography and artwork.\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatured bands here include The Reactions, Dow Jones and The\u003cbr\u003e\nIndustrials, The Reruns, Shoes, The Fingers, The Scruffs, Nastyfacts\u003cbr\u003e\nand more.\u003cbr\u003e\nExclusive one-off pressing on heavyweight single red transparent\u003cbr\u003e\nvinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soul Jazz Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53073429627218,"sku":null,"price":41.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0410\/8370\/files\/soul-jazz-records-presents-power-pop-american-pop-379.webp?v=1775258254","url":"https:\/\/33rpm.ie\/products\/soul-jazz-records-presents-power-pop-american-power-pop-for-the-now-generation-1977-81-lp","provider":"33RPM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
