Reckless Records

Vinyl and CD record store on Milwaukee Avenue, one of the most carefully curated independent record shops in Chicago

A vinyl and CD record store on Milwaukee Avenue that is one of the most carefully curated and knowledgeable independent music retailers in the Midwest. Reckless stocks new and used vinyl across all genres, with particular depth in indie rock, soul, jazz, and electronic music — the staff are genuine music people who make the browsing experience unusual in the current retail climate.

The used section is the main draw: a large and frequently replenished stock at prices that reflect the store's market knowledge rather than wishful thinking. The bulletin board at the front has been a North Side music community notice board since the 1980s. Milwaukee Avenue near Damen; open daily until 9 pm.
