    Love this record store! I'm a record collector and lover of music and vinyl... Bill and Jenny's store is one of my favorite record shops! There are not many stores today where the owners take time to spin new recommended lps for you and then dig out some if their own gems in their record collection to give you a listen. Like Mutha Goose's only self titled lp and Slauter Xstroyes' Winter Kill both killer albums and super hard to find. I can't wait for them to open up their new larger store across the street from their present location.

    Album that was playing while there.  Amazing! And the fact that Bill sold me his copy was just too kind! Thanks!

    See all

    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.

    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

    A great store with many different vinyl records, CDs and cassette tapes. when I went there the…read moreprices were really low which was great. and when I got the my CD of master of puppets by metalica the checkout was really fast.

    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.
