„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. -Meticulous reproduction of the original 1967 stereo mix, staying true to every nuance from the original mixed master tapes. -No rebalancing or EQ adjustments made to the original audio, preserving the full psychedelic authenticity. -Half-speed mastering process, providing enhanced clarity, deeper stereo imaging, and a pristine listening experience like never before. -Produced by Walt Andrus and Frank Davis, the same masterminds behind the recording of the 13th Floor Elevators’ iconic Easter Everywhere, which was made shortly after Power Plant.“

"Fred vom Jupiter" ist einer dieser Songs, die man einmal hört und nie wieder vergisst. 1981 von der Band Andreas Dorau und die Marinas veröffentlicht, avancierte der Song schnell zu einem der bekanntesten Hits der Neuen Deutschen Welle (NDW). Zum Record Store Day 2025 wird die Single zum ersten Mal mit überarbeitetem Cover wieder neu aufgelegt. Erscheint als limitierte (/500) 7" auf Ata Tak. Bereits die ersten Takte vermitteln eine spielerische Leichtigkeit, die typisch für die frühen NDW-Hits war. Ein simpler Synthesizer-Beat, gepaart mit fröhlichen Keyboardmelodien und einem minimalistischen Arrangement, erzeugt eine Mischung aus elektronischer Naivität und tanzbarer Eingängigkeit. Der Gesang wirkt beinahe kindlich-naiv, was den charmanten DIY-Charakter des Songs unterstreicht. Textlich erzählt "Fred vom Jupiter" die Geschichte eines außerirdischen Besuchers, der auf der Erde landet und von den Frauen umschwärmt wird. Die surreal-ironische Erzählweise passt perfekt zur spielerischen und experimentellen NDW-Ästhetik. Dabei lässt sich der Song durchaus als augenzwinkernde Parodie auf den damaligen Zeitgeist und die Popmusik der frühen 80er verstehen. Mit seinem unkonventionellen Charme und der eingängigen Melodie wurde "Fred vom Jupiter" zu einem Underground-Hit, der bis heute Kultstatus genießt.
