While Reckless is really good about keeping tab on their inventory (so you can call, email, or fax to check availability), this is a great store for browsing [a lot of "happy acci...

All reviews seem positive

Not what it once was 4/17/2008

Although you can still find good music at Reckless, their selection has declined over the past few years, and its become more and more frustrating to have to wade through stacks of years-old used CDs that nobody wants. Their new release wall always feels a little bare too. They're still probably the best at what they do in Chicago, but that's kind of faint praise these days. more

Great selection, clueless employees 4/13/2008

Everyone always says that the employees here are so intimidating, but I think it's because they really just don't know much about the stock. Every time I've asked them a question I'm greeted by a totally blank stare. Nevertheless, the selection is pretty good and probably the best in Chicago if you're into indie rock. I do wish it were a little better organized. Don't expect any help finding anything, even obvious stuff like the latest Pavement reissue. One more gripe: the counters are unnecessarily high--I always feel like I have to stand on my tiptoes to sign a receipt. more

wicker park record store 3/13/2008

This is the Wicker Park version of the well-known Chicago record store. I really hope this place will not become extinct along with the entire record industry, because it brings charm and uniqueness to the area. My fear is that soon it will be pushed out of the neighborhood by Gap or something ridiculous, but for now this place is a haven for people looking for rare cd's and records that you could never imagine finding at retail places like Best Buy or Target. Go in and just listen to CD's for hours. more

New & Used, they've got it! 11/26/2006

Great finds for those older tunes you have been looking for or those cd's that you wish that you had from your younger years. I visit there whenerver I am in the area. I either find much more than I can buy or find nothing at all. If you have the time to search for awhile, I am sure that you will find something that sounds appealing to you. If you are a vinyl lover this is the place for you. Oh by the way, the area to listen before you purchase is great! Pros: Can find a great selection of 70's, 80's and 90's! Cons: Pricey on used cd's. more
