In October 2022, I went to FYE (first and only time I shopped there) to purchase an item that was…read moreonly available there. When I went to pay, the female cashier told me if I give her my email, I can get 10% off today. I said ok. She never mentioned anything about recurring charges or anything else. Unbeknownst to me, I found out much later that she had signed me up for their Backstage VIP program which deducted $11.99 from my credit card each month..for ten months. If you shop there, DO NOT give them your phone number or email and if they ask you if you want 10% off your purchase today, say NO. Complete scam since the cashier never mentioned anything about the recurring monthly charges..I never shop there and would never knowingly approve of this..BEWARE!

The store is fairly large and the music is well organized. They do stick of few used pieces of all genres of music but "new" wax is definitely their specialty.

Reckless is a great store to check out when you are in downtown Chicago. It's just a few blocks of Michigan ave, and not far from the Theater District of Millennium park. Enjoy!!

We prefer to buy vinyl at stores like this to support local business vs buying off Amazon. The…read morecatch is the business needs to be open when they say they are going to be open. We could forgive the time on Google saying 11:00 AM when the sign on the door said they open at noon on Sundays. We went and killed some time, had some lunch. We finished eating and came back at 12:30... the store was still closed. Of course, when we went back to the car and were driving off and happened to pass the store only a minute later, THEN we see an employee coming out of the now unlocked door to set something up out front. We can only assume they had to have seen us trying the door moments before and just didn't care. It's not a difficult thing to open your doors when you say you're going to be open. It is actually one of the critical elements when running a business. We even gave them an extra 30 minutes so we weren't busting the doors down. It's not like opening at noon on a Sunday is the crack of dawn. It can't possibly be that difficult.

The trade in value was fair and I was happy with it. It's also really neat they were able to get limited signed pressings of Charli's new album, it was the only record store i saw around town who had them. I ended up leaving with BRAT and a copy of the Strokes "Is this it". The prices are pretty on par with other record stores too. Id definitely shop again here!

After my husband got a record player he became a fan of going to at least 1 record store when on road trips, even if the road trips are just day trips. I'm glad his enjoyment of vinyls helped us find Reckless Records because this store is great. We did buy a vinyl while at Reckless Records and I considered buying a t-shirt, but my husband was disappointed because he is a 3-4xl and they go up to a unisex 2xl. I know we tend to come to this part of town when we travel to Chicago so next time I will most likely give into my impulse to buy every tee-shirt to ever exist in the universe that has a cute design and is in a color I like. If you're looking for a good record store with a solid customer service reputation, large selection of items and a clean store, Reckless Records is definitely worth your time. I know next time we are in Chicago I'm going to request coming back here instead of checking out somewhere different. Or maybe as well as, who knows. I just want to come back.

At the checkout, very very hard sell to join a $15 rewards program where you just couldn't get the clerk to stop. It looks like the reward on a $40 used game is about 6 cents. Finally as check out progressed we found he added a $4 game warranty, without asking or telling us. Just not the kind of place I like to reward with repeat patronization. We will try finding an on line used game dealer instead of revisiting this place.
