A quaint little store tucked away from the busy streets of Naperville; once you walk in, you will…read morenot be able to stop yourself from coming back. The new location serves it perfect as it takes you away from reality and takes you to a whole new world. Though the store is small, it doesn't feel that way as you browse through the countless vinyl, both new and used. They offer up different sections of their store to different genres of music. Along with their great vinyl organization, they offer a clearance section filled with many good tracks. I often pick out a few clearance vinyls and discover new artists. The staff is amazing. They know they're music and are super helpful. On top of the amazing customer service, they also have something called the "Frequent Buyer Card" where you fill up the five slots and get $10 off a used vinyl. I find this a great way for customers to purchase more vinyl and expand their music taste. After a couple trips to Purple Dog, I can confidently say that 95% of the actual vinyl they sell are in very good condition (Mint, Near Mint, VG+). For records that fall below these rankings they put a sticker telling you the condition which is incredibly helpful. For the sleeve, it depends on if the vinyl is used or new. Again in most cases the sleeve is in good condition. Overall, the quality of their vinyl is really good. As for their collection, they have a heavy concentration of 70s and 80s rock. But they also have categories such as: Hip-Hop, Punk, Jazz, Metal, Alternative, and many others. Whenever I stop in, they always have new vinyl in stock and they are constantly expanding their collection on a daily basis. Overall, Purple Dog is one of the best record store I've had the opportunity to stop in. Lucky for me, it is in my home town so I will definitely be returning multiple times to purchase more vinyl. Whether you are new to vinyl or have been collecting for years, Purple Dog is the place to go to begin or add on to your collection.

Great selection of vinyl records and this place is really clean and not cluttered. The price is really aren't too bad either depending on what you're looking for but vintage wise I don't expect you to find many particular fines. Staff here was very friendly too and I thought this place was a great visit before it closed in half an hour

Great shop, Michael is always quick with a joke or a light of your smoke (only on Thursdays…read moredirectly in front of the store though). The regulars-- Davey who's still in the Navy, and Paul the Real Estate Novelist give the place its unique color.

Great shop, great atmosphere, great conversation with the regulars. Fantastic selection of used and new vinyl!

Got some music related things from this locally owned store in Batavia. It has everything from…read moreinstruments to posters, and lots more. Kiss The Sky has tons of music too, mostly on vinyl. A cluttered mess but worth it if having the time to look around. The staff is pretty knowledgeable about artists and instruments. Cool place for anyone who likes music stores, and especially the ones filled with assorted crap. It's probably the worst thing about it. Takes so long going through everything and you can lose track of time. Looked through a lot of rolled up posters that were wrapped in plastic. These had no labels saying what they were. Of course the staff didn't even know. This is one example of the lack of organization. Oh well, it's still cool. The prices on most things are okay. Has some pretty cool things of course. It's located at First Street and Water Street downtown. This is a pretty cluttered store but it's fun if you like this kind of stuff.

Added yet ANOTHER business to Yelp, which will help it get more business. I'm the good guy, you…read morearen't you lazy, none reading, SOBS. This place is like Barnes and Nobles and Borders Books on closing! Lots of sales that are LEGIT, and it make me wonder if it's just some used stuff sold back to people?! JK, it does look all new. All types of genre related things besides books here so it's a diggers wet dream. Come for the books stay for the rando stuff you'll find. I found some books on vacation spots I'm going to like Japan, Italy, and Thailand.

We came in the B.A.M by suggestion of an employee at a different store in the mall. They told us…read morethis store may have Pokemon cards, and while Books-A-Million did not I was happy to have an excuse to browse a bookstore location I'd never been to. They did have book 4 of The Dream Harbor Series by Laurie Gilmore (The Strawberry Patch Pancake House), which was the next book I needed since I've read the first 3 of 6. I snagged that to enjoy during my downtime of the next week or two which will give me something to look forward to. Employees are helpful in guiding you where to find items and the store was well organized. While I typically prefer local vs national brands when it comes to bookstores, B.A.M. is still a solid option to grab a book when in a pinch.

There's a lot of cool stuff to look at here, some of it of the creepier variety (taxidermy, bones, etc.) Plus lots of stuff pertaining to magic, movies, neon signs, uranium glass, vintage guitars, you name it. I didn't find anything today that fit my particular collecting needs, but I have already told 2 friends about this place. Worth checking out, just check the hours in advance.

I wandered in out of pure curiosity, and I'm really glad I did. This place is such a cool concept: browse vinyl while enjoying a great selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. They even carry Delta-9 THC beverages if you're looking for a relaxing buzz without the hangover. The record selection is surprisingly comprehensive for a shop this size, with plenty to dig through no matter what genres you're into. Beyond the records and drinks, they host live music, trivia, and other events throughout the week, making it feel like a genuine community gathering spot rather than just another record store. The staff was fantastic. I think the person helping me was Sue (if I remembered the name correctly), and she was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. If you're anywhere near Lisle, do yourself a favor and check this place out. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

This cute little shop has a wide range of some of the most popular anime and game figures that are out right now from plush characters to scroll poster and DVD's I can find just what I want here and for a decent prices that I would expect to find any where else. the people here are really nice and friendly. I can't for get about the big hello kitty and friends collection they have there as well. I can honestly say me my family and friends enjoy this little shop a lot and will be always doing business with them time and time again. I recommend this to any anime and game lover out there. And if your wondering about fakes and real items I personally don't give a hoot about if its real or not cause its the love for the anime that is more important to me I don't see dollar signs every time I see something I love I'm going to keep it and cherish the memories and enjoyment it will bring me.
