xjustinxschwierx Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I'm gonna be in Chicago from this Wednesday until next Monday. I've heard nothing but good things about Reckless, but which of those other ones are the best? I haven't got time to visit them all. check out permanent (not far from reckless on milwaukee), Dave's if you have time, but it's isolated. Lauries Planet of Sound and the Chicago Independent store are both off Western Ave. ..but about 23 blocks apart Lauries and Dead Wax are both on Lincoln Ave, but about 10 blocks from each other. Dead Wax is spotty, but sometimes they have a lot of things. if you're at Lauries, you're about 15 blocks from Shake Rattle and Read.

sunna Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 obviously I'm biased here and think Lunchbox is the best, but here's most of the stores in North Carolina that I can recall: North Carolina: Charlotte: Lunchbox Records 1419-A Central Ave. Charlotte, NC 28205 704-331-0788 http://www.lunchboxrecords.com Manifest Discs 6239 South Blvd Asheville: Static Age - more punk and metal stuff Harvest - more indie, psych, world stuff Durham: Bull City Raliegh: Schoolkids Records Chapel Hill: CD Alley Boone: 641 rpm (formerly Green Eggs & Jam) Greensboro: My Favorite Things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldsnap Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 PAUL'S BOUTIQUE - A hilarious used record store that never seems to be open during logical business hours. Paul's stock doesn't move and, after being flipped through endlessly, the sleeves are pretty worn. For example, a record priced at $20 when first put into stock might have been fair 2 years ago but not when it's been beat to hell since. Nevertheless. I've pulled some good '90s alternative LPs from there. i bought new found glory - sticks and stones on white a couple years ago for like 15$, i was surprised to see that there, and even more surprised that the jacket was in excellent condition. it wasn't the same with the homegrown record tho, corner was bent as fuck, and was still priced at 15$, haha.

birdwell Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 in Memphis, TN I've been to Shrangri-La...that place is incredible...their hours suck, I've made attempts at stopping by 3 times and only been successful once. At anyrate, if you're in memphis, it's definitely worth checking out, especially if you're into Used vinyl, they have an insane amount of Jazz and Blues. http://www.shangri.com/ P.S. it doesn't hurt that they're right down the street from Ardent Studios either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmpatrick Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 The Detroit area (off the top of my head): Dearborn Music 22000 Michigan Avenue Dearborn, MI 48124 (313) 561-1000 www.dearbornmusic.com One of the best new vinyl selections on the West side. Some used vinyl. Loads of new CD's. Separate Jazz room. Stormy Records 13210 Michigan Avenue Dearborn, MI 48126-3539 (313) 581-9322 www.stormyrecords.com (terrible website) OK new vinyl selection. Better used vinyl selection. I always seem to find something here to buy. Owner is cool. Record Graveyard 2926 Caniff Street Hamtramck, MI 48212-3017 (313) 870-9647 http://www.myspace.com/recordgraveyard Huge selection of used vinyl. Some new vinyl. This place is a bit of a mess. There's stacks of records everywhere. Car City Records 21918 Harper Avenue St Clair Shores, MI 48080 (586) 775-4770 http://www.myspace.com/carcityrecords Good selection of used vinyl. Some new vinyl. This used to be the best place for promo vinyl. Still worth an hour or two. Record Time 27360 Gratiot Ave. Roseville, MI 48066 (586) 775-1550 www.recordtime.com Legendary for techno, industrial and house vinyl. Kid Rock and Eminem shopped here. Selection is nowhere near what it was 15 years ago, but they're hanging in there. Decent used vinyl selection today. Owner is the nicest guy in the business. Melodies & Memories 23013 Gratiot Avenue Eastpointe, MI 48021 (586) 774-8480 This place kinda dumpy. There's a ton of records crammed in a too-small building. Mostly used vinyl. Be prepared to grovel on your hands and knees to find stuff. Flip Side Records 41 East 14 Mile Road Clawson, MI 48017-2132 (248) 585-4090 www.shopflipsiderecords.com Decent selection of used vinyl. Last time I was in there they had some cool punk stuff. Solo Records 30118 Woodward Ave Royal Oak, MI 48073 (248) 549-0581 http://www.facebook.com/pages/Royal-Oak-MI/Solo-Records/147339023682 This place used to be in Birmingham. It was better back then. Used to haul a lot of $1 promos out of there. Nowadays they have a semi-decent selection of used classic rock vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
