“You know they're serious just by the fact that they have many listening stations with Technics (various models of 1200's 👍), headphones, and a put back rack on the side.”

One of the very few places I miss about Chicago. Plus they have listening stations. That isn't always the case at other record stores. At most times you gotta dig, dig and dig some more to find the stuff you like and if you give yourself enough time you'll walk out with some good, or even great finds.

Great old school, independent record shop. Focus is on House and DJs but they have enough other stock to spend a couple hours of fun digging. I found some great blues and jazz records with the vinyl is excellent condition for reasonable prices. The employee with whom o chatted was very cool and amiable.

This place was awesome! The record selection was wide and high quality. They also had a great selection of slip mats. Scored some cool glow in the dark black and white ones. Also got the Pac Man duo. The employee really knew his stuff as well! Can't wait to go back!
