Chicago -
papa ray's vintage vinyl roadshow

Our crew goes to the Windy City stopping by Dusty Grooves, Shuga's, Out Of The Past, and a store that really beckons to the past, Beverly's. Chicago's record stores have survived the mass merchandisers who used the top titles of the day as 'loss leaders'. They have a scrappy reputation: as one store owner put it, "We're all individuals, we're not joiners - we couldn't even put together a record shoppe baseball league in the city --- We're just too damn competitive." A distinctive city with iconic distinctive stores.
