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.

A great source for NEW LP's is Music Direct. Excellent selection, discounted prices, good folks!
URL is www.amusicdirect.com
You might try Jerry Canter, the Classical Collector, in Evanston, at 847-864-3981. He has a website too. He sells by mail, but might agree to a pickup.
Hi: This link won't help you much for finding LP's in Chicago, but if you get serious about collecting vinyl, this site is the MOTHER of all LP-related sites:

http://www.helsinki.fi/~tuschano/records/

The link is located, of all places, in Finland, but there's a lot of great info for US sites.

If you are buying oldies, forget stores and stick with ebay. I've recently completed my 30 year quest to replace long-lost favorites and found them all on the web, in absolutely pristine condition, and most for chump change! Somebody pinch me!!! Now if I can just find "Johnathan Dawson Winter III" on CD for less than $75 (are you listening MFSL-II?)...
