Almost bought this Jimmy Webb classic but passed. I am already aware of some gems that have been pulled out of this tiny shelf but today was nothing doing. I shall return.

Savers, Franklin Park
Hadn’t been in for a while so figured I’d breeze through. Huge stash of new vinyl, I did pick up the one in the bottom pic for $1.08.

Disc Replay, Crest Hill
Had some downtime in the Joliet area (again) so I did a quick search on the old phone to figure out where I might be able to cop some vinyl. I checked out a couple thrift stores and this place kept coming up. Barely out of my way but I had nothing better to do. […]

I have gone past this place hundreds of times to/from work and always wondered about it. Not even necessarily in terms of records but because it looks so odd. It is a house that has been converted into a thrift store. While it stands on a major thoroughfare, it is cloaked in foliage and the […]

These are always prime targets for old vinyl but now you can not only find them with a few clicks, I get daily emails that list all the sales within 20 miles of my home and even highlight the word ‘records’ […]

Kelly and David @ my favorite thrift store in the world call me whenever they get new vinyl and David has become a rabid collector in his own right. I have returned many times to cop wax but today was unique. I had stopped at the EP post office because they are open late (to […]
