WGN Radio Interview with Rediscover Records
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.

Dollar Records are "3 for $1"
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
Record Store Day 2024 ! ! !
UPDATED: February 29th 2024: Record Store Day 2024 is upon us! RSD24 will be on April 20th, 2024. Our Record Store Day order(s) have been submitted and we cannot add it it. Now we wait. Our RSD list of what we will have typically goes live to our website 2 days before RSD, so this year April 18th. We will link it with our socials.
-- A Few Groundrules:
~~ Open promptly by 8am on RSD.
~~ First Come First Serve on RSD.
~~ No holdsies or preorders.
~~ ONE title of EACH record per person and party (Do not bring all your kids to buy 5 Grateful Dead box sets, please). With limited pressings as well as demand for these titles we want to get as many different records to everyone. This is a guideline from RSD and all participating record stores are supposed to subscribe to this guideline.
Scroll past this RAD Beatles turntable to see previous RSD titles we still have in stock and are available now!!
This mini record player honoring the 60th anniversary of The Beatles appearance on Ed Sullivan has been ordered as well. The set comes with the studio versions of the 4 songs they played that night. We have some ordered but if you think you'd like one (though we can't save it for you) let us know. Early MSRP of this is around $180.00, but don't quote us on that.
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! Certain titles (not ALL of them!) are marked down 20%. Also, check the Record Store Day TAB in our header for titles you can buy from our site.

Classical and/or Opera LPs Special
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!!!
