You might be seeing some news about a “surprise” Record Store Day release that some stores received today. This release is from an artist we no longer carry

These are NOT RSD-related and were not approved by RSD. We did not order or request this record - it was shipped to us by the artist’s distribution arm in hopes that we’d post to social media and talk about how excited we were to have copies of the album. We’re actually not thrilled at all, and now we’ve been put in the middle of an obvious guerrilla marketing campaign for this artist - something we have no interest in at all.

We’d like to be transparent with you and let you know how we’re handling this release.

Fixtures will also be available for purchase, and we’ll dig through our poster archive so you can jazz up your home.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

After 10+ years, the time has come to move on from Pinwheel 1.0 and upgrade to Pinwheel 2.0!

We are thrilled to tell you that we’re staying on 18th street, just a few blocks east of the current location! It puts us closer to the heart of Pilsen, while still keeping us near all of our friends and neighbors we’ve made at 1722.

We’re still cleaning up from the flooding at the current location, but we hope to have the store presentable next week so we can liquidate older inventory and sell off fixtures that we won’t need at the new spot.

From there, we’ll get to work building up 2.0, with the expectation that we’ll be ready to go sometime in March.

The website is still on, and we’ve still got plenty of great records at !

Stand by for more details. We’ll be sure to give you a chance to say goodbye to 1722 and send it off in style!

When catastrophe strikes Pinwheel, who we gonna call?!? THE HOMIES AT !!!

Yep. When the literal floodgates opened at the shop Sunday morning and we realized we were facing a significant amount time with the shop closed, Sam and Liz reached out and offered us a temporary home for some of our vinyl. We’re unsure how long we’ll be rebuilding Pinwheel, but TDJ has ensured us that as long as our doors are closed, our vinyl will be available with them.

So, if you were looking for an excuse to FINALLY visit our favorite toy store, now you’ve got one! We’ll be restocking regularly, and taking special order requests. You’ll even see us behind the counter occasionally!

Seriously, we’re honored to know such kind folks willing to lend us a hand as 2025 continues to land below-the-belt punches, and we’re gonna do everything we can to get the shop up and running again soon!
