mcpherson123 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I can't really attest to the punk selections of these stores but I'm pretty sure any Reckless location has a sufficient punk selection except maybe the Madison st. place because its so small they can barely fit very much of any genre and it is favored toward classic rock through modern rock but there are plenty of genres crammed in. I never really look in the Punk sections. Permanent Records is probably pretty decent on punk as well. Reckless on Broadway is probably the biggest record store in general in the area and definitely the biggest of its three locations so there's probably plenty of Punk to look through. Dusty Groove is nice as hell but mostly a Jazz oriented store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanindiana_9139 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 DefinItely hit up at least two of the reckless stores; Mikwaukee and broadway. I use to live right behind the one on Milwaukee. . It's great. Probably my favorite record store. There's also a pretty nice shop in Lincoln Square called Laurie's Planet of Sound: some punk, lots of cheap old records, and a good selection of newer stuff. This place also has a ton of great old horror movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Went to two of the reckless stores. Found an OG copy of alkaline trio-hell yes 7" on lookout records. Not a big find by any means but i was happy to get it for 11.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Anyone been to Record Breakers at Reggie's? I used to go to his store when it was in Hoffman Estates and it had crap loads of punk. If you're willing to venture to the South Loop, I'm sure this place has the best punk selection in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgeagain Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Last time I went to Record Breakers, it was insanely expensive. Everything was $2 over retail. Brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 the new record breakers sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustinxschwierx Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Reggies selection is decent, but it's expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Reggies selection is decent, but it's expensive. Good to know. I got to know the owner when he ran the Hoffman Estates store, was always a pretty good guy to me. Unfortunately with Reckless nearby, the South Loop is just a bit too far to be driving to get to a record store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I can also vouch for how crazy expensive Record Breakers is... not that it was really necessary at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
