Interstellar Space

A one-man operation that's largely the result of a personal record collection that grew too large, Interstellar Space is a small Lincoln Square shop that caters to adventerous listeners. You won't find any new records among the racks, but you'll likely come across some classic rock, avant-garde jazz and vintage funk LPs—and if you have any questions, owner and operator Michael Gaertner is happy to share his knowledge. The selection here is relatively small, but shoppers will enjoy one of the most intimate record-buying experiences in Chicago. And you'll probably take home something you haven't heard before.
