record stores in Chicago


I'm going there in mid-November for my 20th wedding anniversary. Any good shops for blues and 80's alternative stuff and maybe some jazz?

Thanks,

John

the way i see it, you can have a romantic weekend anytime, but you can't always go record shopping in a great music city. buy the wife a couple of cds so she feels special and have a great trip.
Dave's records on North Clark street (near Wrightwood) is great. Vinyl only.

You might also consider dropping by MusicDirect. 318 N. Laflin.

Now, do you have your restaurants picked out? Or do you have a thread open at... Foodgon?

Enjoy.
I always send my wife up to the miracle mile for a couple of hours while I frolic in the Jazz Record Mart. Hard not spend a couple of hundred dollars. I think they also have some affiliation with the Delmark jazz label. Last time I was up there I Fedex'd my laptop home so I could fit all the vinyl in my briefcase.
