Beverly Records is a specific destination for collectors of 45s, vocal-group records and the earlier history of rock and roll. The business opened in 1967 and remains on South Western Avenue, with doo-wop, R&B, blues and rockabilly central to its buying interests and collecting identity. LPs and CDs are also part of the inventory, but the singles focus gives a clearer reason to make the trip. Its selling policy is selective, naming the kinds of older records it wants and excluding many common easy-listening and classical collections. That specificity is useful for buyers too: this is a shop to investigate for particular artists, labels and singles rather than a broad contemporary release day. Allow a dedicated journey to the far South Side.

Local tips
Bring label and catalogue details for an older single. Use the shop's narrow buying criteria before loading a collection that may fall outside its interests.
