a must visit! they have an amazing selection of records, an interesting selection of literature (i had to buy a book, cool stuff) and a cute puppy at the entrance :) they played records while I was there, creating a fun atmosphere as I browsed through their selections. I’ll definitely be back.

I was in Chicago for the weekend and happened to stumble across this shop after grabbing some tacos. I’m not yet into buying or even playing records but i’m very much interested and the lady at the shop was so so helpful. She answered all me questions giving me great recommendations on what to do. Definitely recommend!!
