Interstellar Space Records

Fantastic selection of experimental/jazz/blues/krautrock/prog/folk/non-western/post-punk and all of the other most intense genres of music. Lots of rare first-presses. High level of curation. Reminds me of Vintage Vinyl. One of the coolest record stores I've been to, period.

Cool record store!! Just enough to flip through mostly everything in store, without being overwhelmed or getting bored. Specially pressings, not a bunch of wrapped up current reissues. Guy behind the counter (very well could be the owner) was real friendly & welcoming. Prices are pretty good & every record that I looked at seemed to be in NM condition. Left with something cool, & will be back soon!

one of the best in chi. i have to stop myself from digging through the whole store because just going through the jazz section i have an armful of things i don't want to leave behind.

One of the best record stores in the Chicago area. If you’re looking for rare jazz, soul, psych, folk or avant garde, or a place to consistently find reliable rock classics, this is the store for you. A well curated selection of used records that is always updating. You will be able to dig through everything without dedicating an entire afternoon, yet still consistently find something you’ve been looking for and something you didn’t know you needed. Prices are more than reasonable, records are clean, the owner knows his music and is always happy to point you in the right direction or turn you on to something new. A very welcoming, friendly, and intimate vibe every day. Highly recommended.

Really nice shop. Smaller side, but the collection there is really neat with some stuff you might not see at other shops, and the 60s to 70s rock/pop albums you would expect to see. The prices are really fair and the two records I bought were in amazing condition for the price. Owner seems really knowledgeable, he was having a really nice conversation with a customer about some music I had never heard of before. Again, a great little shop, well worth a visit.
