Mr. Peabody Liquidation Sale This Weekend
When you think Chicago landmark, the first ones that come to mind reside within walking distance of the EL, or maybe in "friendlier" confines. But any DJ or record collector worth his Groove Glide would tell you that a destination as distinctively Chicagoan as any exists beyond even the 95th/Dan Ryan stop of the Red Line. At 118th and Western, Mr. Peabody Records is one of Chicago's most unique record stores, catering to those looking for the best of house, soul, funk, rock, hip hop, world music, jazz and above all...disco. In business together since 1996, owners Mike Cole and Mark Grusane hoped to combine their extensive knowledge and passion for music into the brick and mortar store on 11832 S. Western. They've since supplied many a crate-digger with their fix of rare vinyl and have expanded Mr. Peabody into a record label and distributor. As though there wasn't enough to do this weekend, Mr. Peabody will open their doors to a deluge of bargain shoppers, as it offers a huge inventory liquidation sale on over 60,000+ LPs, 12"s, and 45s. Check out the flyer, and follow their progress on Twitter!
