@ second hand tunes.... open at midnight on friday (just as is permanent records), so perhaps another good spot to grab some of those real exclusive RSD releases......
@ NUMERO GROUP....yr fav label for repressing obscure r&b, soul and everything else good you need to listen to is opening a pop-up one day only record store along milwaukee avenue in wicker park for record store day.....as well as broadcasting their own NUMERO GROUP pirate radio station.... i mean holy shit that's awesome....... here's part of their RSD press release "Oh, and did we not mention that we’re going to have our own record store on April 16th? A one day “flash” store set up in an empty space on Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago? This isn’t just us setting up a table at a record fair, we’ve invited a dozen of our close friends (read: dealers) to set up shop as well. Walking into the Numero record shop will be like walking into the record store of your dreams. Decently priced vinyl in great shape, not a bunch of common dross that’s been picked through 1000 times and suffers from serious finger burn. We’ll have a live radio broadcast from the shop, spinning your favorite Numero tracks with old commercials, weather reports, and news updates we got in the Nickel & Penny acquisition. Have you been dying to hear the commercial for Midwest Floor and Tile backed by the South Shore Commission? For one day only, paradise will be found at a store front in Chicago. But wait, there’s more! We’re manufacturing 100 copies of an exclusive Eccentric Soul 45 that you can only buy at the Numero store. You want this record? Book a flight to Chicago. These hand-numbered singles will be available one per person, with the buyer’s name entered into a registry. If you’re a Numero subscriber, we’ll even hold a copy for you! Many more details to come, but if you’re looking for a place to spend Record Store Day 2011, may we suggest you do it with Numero?" click here to keep up with all the numero group RSD party details....
@ jazz record mart.....the rumor is afternoon jazz and blues performance, though details are sketchy...
@record breakers.....well the RSD in-store list is like a mini fest.....here's the line-up in no particular order.....magic child, aetiology, hemmingbirds, certain stars, steepwater band, ornery little darlings, rocket to the moon, darling and flame shark.......i'm not sure about any of these bands, but why not go check it out.....everything in the store is 10% off as well.....
@beverly records.......all used vinyl is 20% off and they have a waylon jennings tribute band.....awesome.....
and as for the rest of the chicago-land record stores, well who knows? val's halla, dave's, oak park records, hard boiled, grammaphone, death or glory and the hand full of other record stores struggling to stick around haven't even posted anything about RECORD STORE DAY. i mean come on, get with the program and figure out how to use the internet........
but it's not as if there isn't enough going on already......and i know there will be some last minute surprises so stay tuned......!
