Chicagoland Record Shops


So, it looks as if I may be taking the plunge back into vinyl in the not so distant future and I am seeking the best shops in and around Chicago for used and new LP's. I live just outside Chicago in Indiana and aside from your local swap meet/flea market there are no record shops around here (at least to the best of my knowledge). My musical tastes vary greatly, so I'd imagine there is no "one stop shop" per se. I did find a list on centerstagechicago dot com with a list of Chicagoland record shops but I am not sure if this list is complete or even accurate.

Reckless Records (I forgot which location) used to be the place for used LP's but I haven't been there in years. I know Music Direct has a big selection of new and expensive audiophile records but to the best of my knowledge no used vinyl. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

There is a record shop in downtown highland, buying and selling used records. They have thousands of them.

I can't remember the name of the shop, but it is on the south side of Highway Ave., a 1/2 block east of Kennedy Ave. in the first building you come to.

Check it out.

There is also a shop on the south side of Belmont Ave. on the north side of Chicago. Again I can't remember the name of the shop. I have visited this shop too. If memory serves me right it is somewhere east of Halsted St.

They also sell stuff on Ebay. I came across them going to a Cub game one day.

Check it out.

Pick up an Illinois Entertainer, there are ads all over the place with used CD and LP shops across the Chicagoland area. There are also shows 2 to 4 times a year, usually around O'Hare airport at the convention centers selling used CD's and LP's.

The Illinois Entertainer is free and can be picked up at any book store, CD shop, or Music/Instrument Store.

Check it out.

There is a website and also a retail store for a place in Chicago named Dusty Groove America. I believe the wesite is dustygroove.com, but you can google dusty groove and it will come up. I have ordered both vinyl and cd's from them. I have found their condition description to be accurate on the used items. Very prompt shipping also.
Thanks to everyone for your responses. A record shop in Highland? I had no idea, I'll have to check it out for sure.
