Absolutely one of the Chicago landmarks. Such am important part of music history. Spent weekends there from the early 80's thru about 1990 sifting through all the unique music. There was no other place like it. It deserves to be recognized as it played a large roll in the underground music scene.

This store/label helped shape my adolescence, and had had a profound impact on the music I listen to and create as an adult. It has brought me great joy and led me to many wonderful friends.

This place kept my teen years and young adulthood on track. Spent countless hours here learning about music, life, art, and friendship.

This was the spot to buy punk rock records in the 1980s. I used to make the trip out from Oak Park where I lived.
