Visited this Wax Trax store as an 18 yr college freshman from California in Chicago. It was the first place I went. Great spot to visit and even better music.

WaxTrax in Chicago and Dancing Ferret in Philly comprise over half my music collection to this day.

As someone who matured through high school and college on this music, it's preservation for many GenXers is important to us, and the history of misic in America.
