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.

I'm not telling, he he! I got a complete Time-Life Big Bands collection (30 double albums, 28 factory sealed , all new, 1/2 speed mastered)for less than $100!!!

Actually, I dont' remember the name...it's in the West Suburbs, in Arlington Heights or vicinity (Golf Road, that is). The owner is an old man who claims to have started the Phonolog...
Get a phone directory, area code 847, Arlington Heights.

It's on Golf road, one quarter mile east of Rt 83 on the right hand side past the McDonald's that's being reconstructed. It's really close to where I live, so I drive past it sometimes.

Awesome store...most stuff I've gotten is brand new!

That's why I bought a Technics 1200! Lots of 45s, DJ records, oldies, jazz...
