Friday, November 19th marks the grand opening of a brand-new independent record store on the south side. Located at 1377 east 53 st (near U of C), Hyde Park Records will open its doors to vinyl-hungry patrons tomorrow afternoon and will celebrate the occasion tomorrow night (7-10p) with a grand opening party featuring "food, drinks and stuff." Meaty Ogre from Galapagos4 will be providing the soundtrack for the opening night festivities and will be playing a heavy dose of obscure soul 45s most of the night.
Hyde Park Records is the brainchild of local music junkie Derek Erdman, who says the store is "the a culmination of 20+ years of combined music collecting." One word of caution though, Erdman warns that "stuff on the first day will blow your mind."
