What People Are Saying About Wax N Facts
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – Better than your grandparents' attic, this Little Five Points landmark is musty, disordered and crammed with musical gems. The organization makes finding specific albums a challenge, but the staff can usually point you in the right direction and knows what is and isn't in the store. The staff also knows music as well as anyone in town, so make time to get your burning questions answered. – – The Goods – There are thousands of new and used LPs, compact discs and cassette tapes, but it's the rows of vinyl that dominate the store. Wax N Facts carries all…

Great selection but stone-age business...
by abh3
Been in Atl. forever, great selection of used music but still firmly rooted in the 80's with NO website and NO phone or mail sales! I asked as nicely as I could if they could take major plastic and ship an LP but no dice, their market is walk-ins only. Hard to believe in this day and age...
Super place if you live nearby, basically worthless if you don't!
- Pros: Selection of used music
- Cons: No website, phone or mail sales

THE TRUE L5P LANDMARK
by shaddowe
ONCE UPON A TIME ...WAY BACK IN THE DAYS ...
LATE 80'S...THIS ALANTA ICON WAS OF A LEGENDARY STATUS FOR US YOUNG PUPS...
AND WE WERE HAILING FROM METRO ATLANTA OUTSKIRTS LIKE DULUTH,NORCROSS,CHAMBLEE,DUNWOODY, DULUTH,LAWRENCEVILLE...BASICALLY HICKSVILLE B.F.E. MAN...BUT THE REPUTATION OF WAX SPREAD FOR MILES AND MILES...AND IF YOU WERE SERIOUSLY GETTIN' INTO PUNK OR "ALTERNATIVE" TUNAGE VIA 1987-1990...ISH ...YOU FOUND THE WIDEST VARIETY FOR THE BUCK! I'M HONESTLY SHOCKED THAT THIS BEACON OF MAINSTREAM RESISTANCE HAS'NT BEEN GOBBLED UP BY THE YUPPIE OPPURTUNISTS THAT DESTROYED THE ORIGINAL COMMUNITY WAY BACK WHEN JUNKMAN'S DAUGHTER WAS GOBBLED UP BY PRINCESS PAMELA'S...IF YOU WANT QUALITY EVEN MINT VINYL...YOU'LL MORE THAN LIKELY FIND IT HERE!
- Pros: GOOD NEW+USED VINYL, OLD SCHOOL STAFF, TRUE VINTAGE VIBE

Not as charming as when I was younger
by GMSLegion
Over a decade ago, I was in this shop weekly, prowling through vinyl and finding great things. Wax N Facts hasn't changed much since then, except perhaps they're selling fewer weird imports than they once did. Maybe the store is hampered by its size: until they can clear out some of this vinyl, they won't have room to expand their CDs, and some of this vinyl will never sell. The L5P neighborhood has lost much of its charm and I actively dislike going, but that's probably just me being old.
- Pros: History, Staff
- Cons: Parking, Location
The Details on Wax N Facts
Parking:
If you can't find a space on the street, there's a lot behind Junkman's Daughter (pay at night and on weekends).
The Extras:
Bring some of your dust collectors by and turn a few bucks--or trade them in for something else.
