Vintage Vinyl
Address:
925 Davis St, Evanston, IL 60201, USA
Also featured in the book: The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger! “When my friends and I wanted something like the June Brides, or, say, the Icicle Works' Love Is a Wonderful Colour picture disc, we had to ride our bicycles 22 miles, to Evanston, the closest college town, where stood Vintage Vinyl, then and now one of the great record stores of the world. The place wasn't big, but they had a great import section, and they kept their records in thick plastic sleeves, which appealed to us, because we were geek-serious about all this. So serious that we brought backpacks lined in sturdy cardboard, so we could ride the purchases safely back home, without dents or bendings to the records' corners. So serious that we kept our records wrapped doubly in plastic sleeves, and we cleaned the grooves, with the softest chamois, after each play.” –Dave Eggers in the UK’s Guardian Unlimited

Hip Cat Records & Music Videos
Address:

Excellent selection of vinyl, both new and used. The new section contains plenty of current artists, as well as new re-issues of classic albums. The used section is well stocked, and the owner has rated the condition of each record so you know what you are getting. Used prices are very reasonable. New prices are similar to what you would find online. If the record you are looking for is not in stock, the owner will order it for you. There is also a decent selection of "bargain bin" records that start at 25 cents. The selection is mainly focused on rock and roll, but you can find something from almost any genre. If you are looking for classic rock and roll albums, this is the place to go. Highly recommended. The store also carries CD's and videos but the real focus here is on vinyl. Closed Sundays and Mondays.
