Laurie's gets rave reviews in the Chicago Tribune!
From today's issue, "Local Record Stores a Sea of Buried Treasue" in the "On the Town" section!
Since expanding a few years ago, Laurie's has increased its lot of cult DVDs, adding to the charm of an unpretentious Lincoln Square spot that's that's perhaps the only decent record shop both north of Belmont and east of Kedzie. Indie-rock and meat-and-potatoes rock afficianados will be delighted, but Laurie's also carries well-chosen batches of country. garage-rock, local music, and hip-hop. . .Those hoping to score titles that might've been purged from grandma's attic will like the used [LP] section."
Thanks, Bob Gendron!

Laurie's is NEW & IMPROVED! 2000+ new records!
Dear Faithful Customers:
As of this morning, Laurie's POS has a greatly expanded VINYL section. Thanks to our brand new vinyl racks, we've got a spacey new layout and space for all of the 2000+ (used and new) records that have been laying around in storage.
The beautiful new vinyl racks were designed and built by Chicago's own jack-of-all-trades Conrad Freiburg (artist and craftsman extraordinaire).
Also, we just assembled our annual killer Christmas section, with Christmas-related CDs/LPs/DVDs/VHS/Laserdiscs/Etc.
Come by and check us out. It smells like Home Depot (ie: woodsy) in here!
