Gramaphone is moving!

This weekend is your last chance to squeeze your arse through the narrow aisles of the original Gramaphone Records. After 36(!) years in the same location, the store is packing up and heading north up the street to a new, more spacious location just across from the Century Mall, at 2843 North Clark. The old store will be closing on Saturday (3/26) and the Gramaphone staff will have the new shop up and running for all your record needs next Wednesday. If you're not familiar with Gramaphone, it is the place to go in the Chicago to find dance records...house, techno, trance, drum n' bass, etc., you name it, they've got it. They also boast a hefty collection of club-friendly hip-hop and R+B records as well as essential DJ supplies like record bags, slipmats, needles and cartridges. I always was really annoyed by the cramped space of the original location (especially on the weekends when every serious and wanna-be DJ flocked to the store in masses), so some additional elbow room will be much appreciated. I'd also appreciate it if they could slash their prices a bit...but I'm guessing that's probably not going to happen anytime soon.
