THE GOLDEN DAWN - POWER PLANT [VINYL]

RSD 12/4/25:

Music collectors have the chance to rediscover a lost gem from the golden age of psychedelic rock. Released exclusively for Record Store Day 2025, this Half-Speed Mastered Edition offers the ultimate listening experience of the Texan band's legendary 1967 debut—and only—album.
Originally pressed by the International Artists label, Power Plant has gained mythic status among fans of the genre, often fetching up to $2,000 for an original pressing. But this exclusive reissue surpasses even the most sought-after versions, delivering a superlative experience that uncovers astonishing stereo details never before heard. Recorded at the height of the Texas psych-rock explosion, Power Plant stands as the only album on the International Artists label to rival the cult-like fascination surrounding the 13th Floor Elevators. Fronted by George Kinney, The Golden Dawn crafted a sound both haunting and transcendental, blending poetic lyrics, distorted guitars, and dreamlike vocals. Fans old and new will be transported back to the heart of the 1967 psych revolution, reliving this masterpiece as it was meant to be heard.
