Wrecka Stow: Rattleback Records – Chicago, IL

Located at 5405 North Clark Street in Chicago, Illinois, Rattleback Records is a fun store in a hip neighborhood. The place is full of interesting stuff, outsider art, cheap CDs, and more. Walk in and look to the right, and you’ll see this…

Classic country, plenty of David Bowie vinyl reissues, framed posters, and more. Look to the left when you walk in and you’re greeted by all of this…

CDs, cassettes, and plenty more speciality vinyl is all available here. They also have some fun quirky stuff like this…

They also sell some cool audio gear there, in case you need something to play all the stuff you’re going to buy from them.

There’s all kinds of quirky stuff here, and plenty for collectors. Case in point…

Or how about…

In case you’re wondering what I bought while I was there, I found a couple killer bargains in their used CD bins.

$2.99 for that Fluke compilation album is a steal, and 25% off a Lightnin’ Hopkins album I hadn’t heard in its entirety (just a few cuts from it on various compilations)? Sold!

Be sure to stop by there if you’re in the area. It’s a fun place.

Keep your mind open.

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
