Best places to find records on Chicago

Hi Guys -

As I eagerly await the arrival of my first turntable I now am curious as to where I'll be able to locate LP's in or around the Chicagoland area. I have a couple of names like Reckless records, Jazz Record Mart, and Remember when records. Thats about it, are there many others around here?? I am curious also if I will be able to find newer releases on vinyl, I hope at least I will be able to find some. Thanks everyone for your input in advance.

There's a Reckless in Evanston, one at Broadway and Belmont, and one on Milwaukee Ave in Bucktown.

Record Emporium on Paulina (near Lincoln).

Hi-Fi Records,Second Hand Tunes, and Audio Video Beat are all on Clark between Fullerton and Diversey.

Laurie's Planet of Sound at Lincoln and Leland.

Record Roundup on Montrose, near Damen.

There are also some used book stores that carry a few, but not enough to make it worth the trip.

I thought of two more...

Raffe's Record Riot on Cicero (just south of Montrose).

Broadway Records on Briar (just west of Broadway)

I don't remember what that place is called either, but it's Des Plaines (the edge...very near Mt Prospect), not Arlington Heights.
