record stores in Chicago

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.

There are several, one of them i've heard is jazzmart, they are on jazz recordings.

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.

Years ago there was a used/new vinyl record store in Chicago I used to shop at. The owner was always crying about an ex-girlfriend...and the guy that worked for him was rude, and refused to sell me the We are the World record. I left,bought a CD player,and joined the Columbia Records CD club and never looked back......

We stumbled upon Jazzmart by accident and spent an hour and about $200 bucks. Great place and nice people. I even got my son who plays drums a Max Roach t-shirt. The whole trip was a blast.
