User Reviews for Wax Trax

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

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

I don't go to many music stores, but I was looking for a specific song for my wedding anniversary, and I had no idea who it was by or where to find it. My daughter recommended I try Wax Trax. When I first arrived, I was a little intimidated, but the woman I talked to behind the counter made me feel welcome immediately. She took the time to find all the artists who had done the song (which were quite a few!), and let me listen to the different versions. She also had some wonderful recomendations for other music to play from that era. I would never have gotten this kind of attention at Best Buy or Walmart! Those chains didn't even know what song I was talking about. This is a wonderful store, not just for young people!
Pros: friendly&helpful, fair prices
Cons: parking

This is by far the best cd/ record store in town! you can't beat the knowledge of the staff, and the selection is killer! There is no other place to shop for 45s, and their selection of obscure titles is unbeatable. The prices are fair (and great for used product).
Pros: cool atmosphere
Cons: a little grimey

This is a great store if you are looking for new. For those of us into "recycling" the old, this store is lacking.
Pros: Better than Idaho
Cons: Parking, Expensive, Poor selection

Wax Trax Vinyl is an ok shop. Actually, the only reason I buy vinyl there is because of its close proximity to my house. There needs to be more listening stations, a more knowledgeable staff with relation to dance music and they could dust a little more. I can dig the indie credibility that they are going for but indie doesn't have to equal dirty. They still get my money periodically.
Pros: Good prices, location
Cons: Not enough turntables, Dirty, Dance music selection
