Link: WGN Interview with Rediscover Records

On January 26, 2023 the 50,000 Blowtorch that is WGN Radio (AM Radio 720) featured the City of Elgin as part of their "Your Hometown" series. Several businesses and organizations were interviewed throughout the day including yours truly, Rich from Rediscover Records. *The* legendary DJ John "Records" Landecker (he's in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, ya know) was the host and the segment is about 8 minutes long, which is about 5 minutes shorter than most prog rock songs, haha.

Yes! We are on social media and you probably already knew that or follow us, but here we are . . . We typically hang wit' Instagram, Twitter, and when we can stomach it, Facebook. Check us out for updates and hot new releases fresh off the delivery truck or great preplayed records that just walked in via purchase, trade, or kind donation to the shop. Thanks for the "likes", shares, comments, and trips to the shop specifically after seeing a post via our socials. We appreciate you.

Instagram is where we're most active. Follow our page for the "stories" too.

 . . . and like we said, if you can still tolerate Facebook, we still utilize it and as a small business, it's been indispensible, so thanks for all the "likes", follows, shares, and trips to the shop or the site after reading a FB post.

Our dollar bins are in the back section of the shop. While dollar bins are what they are, you might be surprised at some of the artists you may find there. You read it correctly! Our Dollar Records are "3 for a $1"! So get three 33-1/3rpm records for a mere 33-1/3 cents (See what we did there?) but the only catch is you must buy in 3's and even if you only find one, it's still only $1. What a deal!

Record Store Day 2026!!!

Yes, we ordered several Taylor "Elizabeth Taylor" 7" singles!

Our Record Store Day orders have been submitted! Thanks for all your requests! We had an overwhelming response and we ordered everything that was requested. Here's the rub, as most of you know, with limited pressings of each item (some have 750 or less copies pressed!) the shops do NOT always get the quantities they ordered. In some cases, they don't get any. In the spirit of that Limited Quantities thing we cannot reserve/hold any items for you. So your "request* does NOT guarantee you will get the record(s).

We have no idea how many of each items we will get but we will post *our list* of RSD inventory by 6pm Thursday April 16th. The List will be posted to this page and we'll link it to our socials.
~ The people have spoken, well, maybe 3 of you, and we will continue with "First Come, First Serve" basis (as opposed to a lottery system) before we open at 8am on RSD. Hopefully, we'll have enough of each item per demand that you won't have to get here too early. We'd rather you not sleep over, tbh.
~ Per usual, ONE ITEM of each TITLE per person/party. You can buy more than one record but not multiple copies. Don't give the person behind you money to buy another copy either, I mean, c'mon.... Obviously we can't police that, we'll just say you're *that guy*. Don't be that guy. We want as many people as possible to get a shot at some of these.

Everyone is always super cool in line; it's great energy, vibes, and camaraderie. This is why we will stick with "First Come, First Serve". Thanks and good luck! 

Thanks for your support and biz over these last 15+ years of being in business. RSD and BFRSD are our favorite events not just from a business standpoint, but there’s always a great camaraderie, energy, and vibes about the shop the entire day..

Thanks for your continued support on the other days not named Record Store Day. Here's a look at titles we have remaining from previous Record Store Day's!! Check the list!

~ As always, thanks for your biz and support! ~

When shopping in-store, all of our classical and/or opera records are as price or get the special price of "3 for $10". All of them are reasonably priced regardless with most of them less than $9 and some under $5 but why not get 3 of them for $10? This includes the Box Sets of Classical and Opera as well. One trait of classical and opera LPs is that the original owners took very good care of them. Records are typically clean and any inserts that may have been included are left intact. Take advantage of getting a Box Set, or Bach's Set, today! #HEYO!!!
