On a crowded, zig-zaggy stretch of Clark, a even-inch record with a piece of paper taped across it hangs in the front window of this shop. It makes owner Dave Crain's position quite clear. It reads: NO CD'S NEVER HAD 'EM!!! NEVER WILL!!! Lest you think this is some modern vinyl revival, keep in mind Dave has been selling wax here for years and years. It's a charming, friendly shop run of an omniverous music addict. New releases from Tame Impala, EDM 12-inches, used jazz, Lady Gaga, rare garage and so much more sit in stacks from floor to ceiling.
