Please protect this place: for many generations it was headquarters for the Chicago music scene.

This store played a big part in my introduction to, and subsequent love for, Punk, Industrial and New Wave in the 1980’s. IMO it’s very deserving of landmark status.

This was music headquarters for a whole era -- the gateway to the NYC and London punk scene and then for the music that helped put Chicago on the map, simultaneously with house and early Chicago hip hop. The location and the building is an era classic.

This space was pivotal in the Chicago music, art, fashion, and cultural scene of its time. I went there almost every week! It's deserves to be recognized and preserved so the history of punk, new wave, and experimental music in Chicago can be celebrated.

Purchased tons on 45 rpms and "C·30 C·60 C·90 Go" Originally only released on cassette, it was the world's first-ever cassette single. This was the debut single by English new wave band Bow Wow Wow. It was written by Malcolm McLaren, Matthew Ashman, Leigh Gorman and Dave Barbarossa.

I loved WAX TRAX! I went there a lot when I was a student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Lots of fun, good people and good music!

By far the best music store anywhere. It would be an injustice to Chicago music history to lose such cultural icon.
