1120 N Ashland. They started as a website-only model in 1996, and eventually opened a physical location a few years back.

But the place is amazing, probably the best record store in Chicago (if not the country) for jazz, soul, hip hop, reggae, funk...anything along those lines (there are plenty of other stores to shop for indie rock..this ain't it). Definitely not cheap (although thats relative, since a lot of the stuff is considered "collectible"), but the selection is astounding. You can literally walk in blind-folded, pick a stack of records at random, and you would leave happy. I am not kidding, there is nothing in that store I would not want to own. Everything is impeccably organized by genre, and their website lists their entire in-store selection, along with a customized write-up of every album (its an encyclopedia in itself). Check it out.

So as you can imagine, I try to limit my visits, because I can be dangerous with a credit card...
