Message from Reckless Records

Reckless Records

Used and new, strange, rare and common CDs, LPs, DVDs, and more.

  • Free Instore Performances
  • CDs, DVDs, Video Games
  • Buy and Sell

A huge part of what makes Reckless Records a unique store is what you bring through the door to sell or trade. If you want to get some new music or new movies, and you don't want to spend much money, then bring in your old CDs, DVDs, videos, video games, records, 45s. We will even find a home for your humble cassette tapes (we consider most music-related items). If you just want some quick cash, great, bring them in. We do, however, offer 20% more in trade than we do in cash. For instance, if we offer you $10 cash for an item, that will be $12 in trade, and so on.

If you have a huge collection you are interested in parting with it, but it's going to be too large to bring to one of our locations, let us know--call or e-mail. We may be able to save you the journey by sending out a couple of our expert staff to have a look and make an offer.

Editorial Review for Reckless Records – by John Dugan

In Short
This Wicker Park location covers the underground bases well, particularly local independent releases (Drag City, Touch and Go, Frisbie, Pinebender). The genre-organized stock of new CDs and vinyl is also impressive. Psychedelic and prog rock (staff favorites), punk and garage, soul, jazz, and experimental are in good supply, with smatterings of world, techno and lounge as well. Mags, zines, and new and used videotapes and DVDs are also available.

Editorial content is independent of paid advertisers. Any expenses are paid for by Citysearch.

Know Before You Go

User Reviews for Reckless Records

3 Star Rating: Average

11/27/2006 Posted by lolox2

Great finds for those older tunes you have been looking for or those cd's that you wish that you had from your younger years. I visit there whenerver I am in the area. I either find much more than I can buy or find nothing at all. If you have the time to search for awhile, I am sure that you will find something that sounds appealing to you. If you are a vinyl lover this is the place for you. Oh by the way, the area to listen before you purchase is great!

Pros: Can find a great selection of 70's, 80's and 90's!

Cons: Pricey on used cd's.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
