Why it is worth visiting

Laurie's Planet of Sound belongs on a Chicago CD itinerary as well as a vinyl route. The Lincoln Square shop's current updates show recorded music alongside DVDs, VHS and books, keeping a broad physical-media identity rather than narrowing the visit to new LPs. Give that department real time if discs are the priority. The current official feed is the useful place to check arrivals and contact instructions; the shop specifically directs enquiries through Facebook Messenger rather than assuming Instagram messages are monitored. At 4639 North Lincoln, this is a neighborhood destination of its own. Pair it with a Lincoln Square outing instead of folding it into an unrealistic Wicker Park walk.

What you will find

New and used vinyl and CDs, DVDs, VHS and books. Current arrivals vary, so a posted item should be confirmed if it is the reason for the trip.
