I will always support small businesses, but I'll never be back to this one. It's a shame because…read morethey have some great records! However, in the sensitive world we live in today, I don't think it's ever appropriate to tell a customer that you don't care if the president gets killed or doesn't... that's where I draw the line. Regardless of political views, I was not expecting to spend my afternoon hearing about it when asking if they had a specific item. I was going to leave this be and move on with my day, but it ruined my whole day. I never post reviews, (I had to download yelp just to leave this reviews), but I felt the need to say something. In a world so unsure and so broken, I walked into a record store to clear my mind. I left with stress and confusion. I guess I'll continue buying my records online instead of supporting this small business. What a shame.

And the prices are really great, as well. The owner(I forget his name) was really awesome to talk to, and explained a lot about the store to me. Including the record/band/artist reference book in the front, where those artist/band and album name books used to be periodically mailed out to his record store and other stores, by a certain company. Though from what he told me, that company stopped producing those reference books by the early 2000s, sadly to say. The unfortunate thing is that too many other Chicago record stores seem a little overpriced IMO for their used records, such as for example Rattleback Records in Andersonville(Chicago) and Rediscover Records(Elgin). I'm glad this store wasn't like that for being overpriced for used records, and actually OTOH was pretty affordable. Their prices for used CDs, DVDs, and tapes was decent, as well. Yes no doubt for some people this store may be slightly out of the way. But I'd say for darn sure if you do like browsing in a record store, you should visit here at least once in your life! I do like how the inside of this store still felt pretty old school in its inside look, as well. And probably little changed, from when(I think) it first opened in the 1970s.
