Warehouse-scale destination
Shuga Records
Chicago, Illinois
What to Expect
Big space, tall racks, and the classic "I'll be quick" lie. You'll bounce between cheap staples and legit wall pieces, plus posters and random ephemera. Great for long browsing sessions - bring a tote and expect to cover a lot of ground.
