SPIN CITY: THE VINYL REVIVAL
Good news in the music biz is rare lately, but get this: Vinyl sales were up 33 percent last year. Fetishists are shelling out for 180-gram editions--thicker records less prone to warping. And brick-and-mortar retailers are popping up across the U.S. Here's where to crate-dig now.
CHICAGO Saki
This shop represents Chicago's avant-rock scene, and local acts like Califone and Jon Langford play concerts amid the racks of far-flung sounds, from eighties Brazilian punk to sixties Cambodia rock.
3716 W. Fullerton Ave.
773-486-3997; sakistore.net.
Also spotlighted are Vacation Vinyl in LA and Black Gold in Brooklyn.
