Straight Outta Skokie: The Record Shack Years: 1970–1974 dives headfirst into the gritty, electric world of a young dreamer who turns a wild idea into a legendary record store. From battling distributors, hustling bootlegs, and dodging gangsters and busts, to running concerts and crossing paths with Chicago’s counterculture underground, The Record Shack becomes more than just a store—it’s a front-row seat to an era exploding with music, rebellion, and risk. Between stolen records, celebrity visits, and nights tangled in love, heartbreak, and haze, Al Krockey learns that running a store means juggling business, chaos, and survival. As competition grows and the pressure mounts, the ultimate question looms: Is it time to sell the dream—or double down on it?
