Thrift/Secondhand Stores (Locations Vary). Thrift shops are an awesome way to build up your vinyl collection (especially if you’re on a budget!).
Dusty Groove is most known for its vast collection of new and vintage jazz, funk, soul, hip-hop, world, and obscure vinyl records.ħ. Dusty Groove (1120 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60622). However, they offer 20% more in trade in value than they do in cash.Ħ. If you’re looking for new records to buy and you don’t want to spend too much money, you can bring in your old CD’s, DVD’s, LP’s, (etc.) to Reckless Records to sell or trade! Even if you’re not looking to expand your music collection, you can still sell to Reckless Records and make some extra cash. Reckless Records, which has three Chicago locations, carries new & used CDs, DVDs, games and tons of Vinyl. Reckless Records (26 E Madison St, Chicago, IL 60602).
Do you like vintage 80s action figures? They’ve got them! Looking for a few new VHS’s and cassettes? They’ve got them! Do you love collecting records or buttons? They’ve got them!ĥ. If I had to describe this store in one word it would be: Whimsical! Walking into Bric-a-Brac Records & Collectibles is like walking into an 80s kids dream bedroom. Bric-a-Brac Records & Collectibles (156 W Diversey Ave, Chicago, IL 60647). Laurie’s Planet of Sound ( 4639 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60625). Unlike most record stores whose sale bins contain mainly unknown artists or Christmas music, Laurie’s Planet of Sound’s sale section carries many popular artists (like Madonna) for under $2! I think my favorite thing about Laurie’s Planet of Sound is it’s used LP/New Arrivals section which contains newer records (that came out in the past few years) that are used (so the price is reasonable!).Ĥ. I’m not going to lie, a lot of the records at Shuga Records are overpriced but they do have an excellent section of new & used vinyl, CDs & collectibles!ģ. Shuga Records (1272 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60622). I’ll never forget when I found a used version of my favorite album, The Magical Mystery Tour, for only $8!Ģ. Half book store, half record store, Half Priced Books is a must visit for any record collector.
If you’ve been following along with my many vinyl hunts over the years, then you might recall that this is one of my most visited record stores (even thought it’s not technically a record store). Okay, so this record store isn’t technically in Chicago (it’s located in a suburb about 15 minutes away from the city) but I HAD to include it. Half Priced Books (31 Orland Square Dr, Orland Park, IL 60462). Here are some of my favorite record stores in Chicago:ġ. I can’t explain it but it just makes me so happy! Over the past four years of I’ve explored dozens of awesome record stores so I thought today, I’d share a couple of my favorite ones with you all.

Since then, vinyl hunts have become part of my regular weekend routine (I’ve also updated my record player to an adorable floral Crosley Radio Keepsake Portable Turntable). Call me crazy, but sometimes I feel like a song (or album) sounds better when it’s coming from my record player (maybe it’s because of the bass or something, I don’t know!). I’ve been collecting records since I got my baby blue Crosley record player (her name is Little Darling) for my 21st birthday (which was four years ago). There’s just something about hearing a vinyl that makes me so happy. As many of you know, I’m an avid record collector.
