Wax Trax records made a huge mark in the music industry and music industry and made Chicago known as “the scene “ for that type of music. I’d argue and many others would as well around the world that it’s just as important as the Chicago blues and jazz scenes and especially that store front and what it represents. It should be protected as an important historical landmark and part of the history of the Chicago musical legacy.

Wax trax! was a crucial hub of American independent music; artists around the country benefited from have their records sold there, and as a source for discovering new music. The history of American indie music cannot be written without it.

WaxTrax was always more than just a store - during my teenage years it was a place to live who I truly was and meet like-minded rebels and music lovers sharing an alternative angle on life. WaxTrax forever! It’s a cornerstone of Chicago’s rich music heritage and deserves to be preserved as a landmark!

I was in Wax Trax in 1990 shopping before goinhg to Park West to see Hothouse Flowers. I was buying Blue Nile - A Walk Across The rooftops and checking out next to me was Robert Plant. I was so shocked and overwhelmed I didn't say anything.
