In Short – The wooden shelves in this cramped store are bursting with albums. They're coming from every possible nook and feature each curious little subcategory of music imaginable. The clerks are likely to be young, punkish, with wild clothes and hair. They represent the best of urban culture in Capitol Hill. It's an especially great place to pick up the old, hard-to-find jazz albums you must have for that special date.

Jam packed with goodness

by DancerHolly

This place is relatively small, (compaired to the other independant music stores in Denver) but it is completely crammed wall to wall with music. The staff range from punkish and hipster to "okay, I'm sorta scared of you" but they're happy to hunt down that album you totally require and would actually feel guilty downloading. On the vynal side, I have always been thrilled with both the new and used selection. I found a coloured vynal of AFI's Answer That And Stay Fashionable brand new limmited to 300 pressings for a mere $12. Total win.

  • Pros: Good selection, helpful staff, cool posters on every square inch of wall space
  • Cons: virtually nonexistant parking, dodgy 'hood, some staff members are a bit scary

ok vinyl selection

by bitemeagain1

I've been shopping for years at this place, and have found a lot of "rare" vinyl record albums. Sometimes they don't have enough in stock. Some of the employees are "scarey" to ask for help, other than that it is an ok place to visit.

  • Pros: good album section, sometimes good value, interesting place
  • Cons: parking sucks, neighborhood?, albums in stock
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

cool store.

by jane246

I was actually surprised to come across this litttle gem in the neighborhood....The other record stores around here suck. But Wax Trax had some really rare stuff that I've been trying to find for years! And the staff was actually nice, not like some "other" record stores...I heard that its been around for like 26 years or something...Doesn't that make it a landmark or something?

I'll definitely be back!

  • Pros: Lots os rare stuff, excellent prices, knowleable staff
  • Cons: sketchy neighborhood, parking
