Tone Deaf Records
Tone Deaf Records is an independent record store located in the lovely Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago. We carry new and used records, CD's, shirts, record cleaning kits, and other fun stuff for the vinyl junkie. We specialize in punk, metal, jazz, soul, indie, classic rock and a ton of other musical genres. We have been open since June of 2019 and look forward to your visit. Drop in and say hi when you are in the hood!
We Buy Records
If you have any records you would like to sell for cash or store credit, you can bring them by the shop or give us a call to setup a house call.

Well....I hope all you wonderful friends of ours are hanging in there. We knew it was going to be a long winter and we have a bit to go....but stay safe, sane and smart, we will make it through together. A little vinyl therapy can always do the trick to relieve the boredom and monotony of it all. We got you covered!! Lets just hope and pray that things go smoothly this week during the inaugaration. The last thing we need is more yahoo's with guns acting out of line.....and yes, I am talking about the police as well.
As far as news for the shop, we are still closed to the public for the time being but are doing appointments, delivery and curbside pickup. We will reconsider reopening the store to the public once Covid numbers climb down so please keep isolating, wearing those masks and being safe. We are so close we can feel it. Give us a call if you want to setup an appointment. Deliveries are going to continue every Monday and Friday evenings until further notice.
We got some more hoodies back in the shop. They look and feel great!! We also have a new T-shirt design as modeled below. Good stuff!!
A handful of great new releases came in the door and we are always stocking up on used items so check back often, the good stuff doesnt stick around.

Holy Shit!!! New Shirts!!
