I finally went here a few weekends ago, after wanting for ages to visit this store. Honestly this…read morestore was SO GREAT to browse, that I wish I had visited here sooner. And the prices are really great, as well. The owner(I forget his name) was really awesome to talk to, and explained a lot about the store to me. Including the record/band/artist reference book in the front, where those artist/band and album name books used to be periodically mailed out to his record store and other stores, by a certain company. Though from what he told me, that company stopped producing those reference books by the early 2000s, sadly to say. The unfortunate thing is that too many other Chicago record stores seem a little overpriced IMO for their used records, such as for example Rattleback Records in Andersonville(Chicago) and Rediscover Records(Elgin). I'm glad this store wasn't like that for being overpriced for used records, and actually OTOH was pretty affordable. Their prices for used CDs, DVDs, and tapes was decent, as well. Yes no doubt for some people this store may be slightly out of the way. But I'd say for darn sure if you do like browsing in a record store, you should visit here at least once in your life! I do like how the inside of this store still felt pretty old school in its inside look, as well. And probably little changed, from when(I think) it first opened in the 1970s.

Bill and his crew know their stuff about music and they definitely have a lot of it! They carry…read morelots of new music, but their focus seems to be on used records and CDs. There's a lot to go through. They also carry a huge amount of used stereo equipment and Joe can answer just about any question you might have on any subject you can come up with regarding stereo equipment, speakers, accessories and jazz music too. He's there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. One caveat: the store can be quite cluttered with stacks of boxes and records and other items and sometimes they make it hard to get through aisles or inhibit your ability to shop items they have in stock. That's to both you and the shop's detriment. I brought it up to the owner once and he got short with me, so I left and haven't been back since, only because it's about an hour's drive for me. I will be back, I just won't anger the gods anymore.

Very knowledgeable, very accommodating, very professional. They took care of my amp in a very…read morefast & courteous manner

I heard about this record store while listening to talk record on WRMN 1410AM in Elgin, Illinois so…read moreI decided to stop by and check it out. It's a hidden gem of a store for film buffs and memorabilia collectors like myself. I was specifically looking for film soundtrack albums and the man ( I assume it's the owner) was very helpful in showing me exactly where these albums were located. It's a small store but I highly suggest visiting here, if are a serious vinyl collector or just looking looking for an unusual gift. Good stuff...Five stars.

Went in for a visit with my friend, and we immediately felt off. We were not welcomed in (no hi,…read morehow's it going) despite being the only ones there. Worker was watching tv (no worries it was slow totally get it) but it was way loud and didn't lower the volume we basically had to scream to each other to talk. While we were looking did not get asked if we needed help with anything. The atmosphere was just off and we both agreed we felt unsafe to be honest. Selection was nice and organized well, but other than that we feel no reason to come here over other places. Will not be going again

My nephew started taking his son here when he was about 5. He loved going to this store! My nephew…read morealso enjoyed it. As years went by he bought quite a lot! Tim moved and expanded. My nephew took in his now grown sons stereo for repair. It was just before covid. Then covid hit. We were all sick and things happen. It sat awhile. My nephew kept in touch about it tho. Several texts went back and forth as did a few calls. Suddenly it can't be found! Hmmm how odd! When my nephew called he was told it was "lost" or possibly thrown out! I sincerely doubt either! It's worth on ebay $250-$400 and Tim is well aware of that! To do this to someone he's known since 5 and is now 23 is sad, rude and sketchy to say the least! When my nephew confronted him he basically asked him to leave the store! I've personally heard other record store owners comment on his business practices. They were not positive at all. It's his karma! He had the nerve to try and SELL him ANOTHER for $150 I would not shop here! I certainly would not bring anything in to get fixed. He never called, texted or emailed and said you NEED to pick up your stereo or it will be considered abandoned or sold or anything! He never gave a straight answer! Buyer beware! There are lots of music shops in McHenry. Go there instead.

Clearly at one point it was a record shop (the name gives it away of nothing else), and there's still a case of them in the middle of the room, but it's been subsumed by the mass quantities of toys and memerobilia that are crammed into this small storefront! Got a cartoon, sci fi film or other cult classic that you like? Chances are they have something from it. (I even saw a Danger Mouse figurine...does anyone aside from me remember that show?!) Edge your way through the quagmire of collectibles and take your time looking! The only thing I didn't find that I was seeking? Micro Machines! (Not the Star Wars etc. ones; just the old school mini cars. They did have lots of Hot Wheels though.) This place was pretty crowded on a week-end (read: 5 or 6 customers at once, which given the space was practically overflowing). Worth a stop if you are nearby, or a trip if you are a big collector!

They will trip and fall yelping, "I've fallen, and I can't get up!!!" Toys EVERYWHERE. On the floor, ceiling, and surrounding the shop owner to trip on. A nerds dream, and an old person's nightmare. For me, I always find like 1 thing to buy and it's usually a good deal. I picked up some Jurassic Park dinosaurs here. Also, I've sold things here I wasn't using or didn't want. Cool staff
