hey rowland-
as far as record stores go in chicago, *definitely* check out gramaphone
records on clark st (it's between belmont and fullerton on the el train),
and nearby on sheffield is reckless records (reckless is much closer to the
belmont & clark intersection). although both sell mainly new stuff, there
are used sections (the one @ reckless is bigger).
gramaphone has a wide variety of house/techno/d+b/hip-hop/etc on vinyl, and
plenty of cool stuff on cdees. reckless is where you find more of the IDM,
experimental, etc. releases on cd & vinyl. depending on what you're looking
for, you can get it at one of the two.
there are also some places worth checking out in nearby evanston: on
sherman ave in downtown evanston are two cool shops: dr. wax has a great
selection of IDM & experimental (new and used), and across the street is
chicago compact disc, which has some cool stuff as well. there is also a
reckless records two blocks away on davis street. 2nd hand tunes (which i
think is on dempster- also relatively close by) has LOTS of used cds, and
has a separate store for all used vinyl.
all of these spots are easily accessible by the el train:
gramaphone & reckless (chicago): get off the red line at belmont.
dr. wax, reckless, chicago compact disc: get off the purple line at davis.
2nd hand tunes: get off the purple line at dempster.
hope this helps!
