Exile on Main Street

Honestly, every time I visit this shop I make a B line for the film soundtracks—which is a pretty sizable section—and I never fail to find something great. The jazz section likewise never fails to please. The owner is very friendly and will sometimes help you out with a surprise discount. I love walking in and finding out things are 30% off! Keeps me coming back to check for new used selections. Dandelion is likewise excellent for vintage clothing.

Stopped there passing through Champaign. Being a collector, I always like to hit a local record shop or two anywhere I go. The place had a cool vintage vibe to it. Decent selection on hand. Pricing was a mixed bag. Some stuff was obviously overpriced but I found a couple of nice LP’s for a decent price, so I was pleased overall. I might hit it again someday when I have more time to look.

So grateful to have Exile in town. They carry a lot of cool stuff and are great about special orders & getting things on back order when possible.

Fun little record store to wander through. Shares building with a nice little thrift shop too.

Love this local institution. New, old, collectible, local, refurbished classic audio gear, classic video games, local art & t-shirts...everything you could want from a classic indie record shop. Lately I have been buying records with interesting cover art to frame & hang. Go drop a few bucks and support these guys until they can start hosting in-store live shows again.
