Shuga Records Wicker Park

Shuga's Wicker Park location fits naturally into the Milwaukee Avenue record-shopping cluster, but its own Chicago-artist label and exclusive releases give it a reason beyond proximity. New and used vinyl are central, with CDs and tapes also in the wider catalogue. The business grades used records and sleeves separately, a useful detail when comparing a particular copy rather than simply an album title. Its two Chicago locations also require attention: online orders ship from Logan Square, so a shared web listing is not proof that a record is waiting in Wicker Park. Combine this branch with nearby Reckless for a broad browse, then use Signal or Dusty Groove on Ashland to take the day toward particular musical interests.

New and used vinyl, CDs and cassettes, including Chicago-artist releases and Shuga label material. Check both record and sleeve grades on used listings.

1272 North Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park. The separate Logan Square store is on Armitage; confirm the branch for a specific item.

Use Wicker Park for the walk between Shuga, Reckless and Ashland Avenue shops. If a web listing is the reason for visiting, ask which store has the copy before setting out.
