Top Sellers: Dave's Records in Lincoln Park
This week's list comes from Dave's Records, an all-vinyl store that packs in nearly 40,000 vinyl records in all formats -- from LPs and singles, to 7" and "12-inch records -- at 2604 North Clark Street. "All I do is vinyl," owner Dave Crain says. Even though he hates lists ("I'm always afraid I'm going to leave something out"), Crain passed along this list of top-sellers. He also blogs at the store's MySpace page.
Passion Pit, Manners (Frenchkiss)
Grizzly Bear, Veckatimest (Warp Records)
White Rabbits, It's Frightening (Tbd Records)
Leonard Cohen, Songs of Leonard Cohen (re-issue, Sony Legacy). Crain notes, "They re-issued five of them, and all of them are selling well, but this is the most popular."
Mastodon, Crack the Skye (Reprise)
Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (Nonesuch)
Townes Van Zandt, Townes Van Zandt (Fat Possum)
U2, No Line on the Horizon (Interscope)

This is probably my favorite record store in Chicago. Reckless is cool, but the employees at Dave's are so much nicer.
