Wax N' Facts

Wax N' Facts

 The door to Wax N' Facts has been open for over 30 years. It is also located in Little 5 Points, just down the street from Criminal Records. It has much more used vinyl but also has a large selection on re-issuses and new lps. 

 The maze of vinyl inside Wax N' Facts. It can be overwhelming at times but if you are looking for something special it's probably here.

We didn't get much here mostly because are pockets were considerably lighter after visiting Criminal Records first. But Mr. Empty found a Mountain Goats record that he should have bought a long time ago. There were many other records that we were tempted with but had to pass until the next trip.

Big Record Store, Little 5 Points

Criminal Records

Criminal Records is a great store that we visit every time we get a chance to head into Atlanta. It's a huge store that not only has a great selection of vinyl but also cds, comic books, t-shirts, artwork, and all kinds of other kooky things. You never really know what's gonna be in store until you walk in. It is located in Little 5 Points where you can easily lose track and spend hours shopping. Bring lots of meter money! :)

 Mr. Empty crate digging. We found some great stuff in these!

 The Shins - Port of Morrow

The new Shins album! I Have't listened to it yet but I am very excited to. It came with a 5 song Acoustic EP that was limited to "indie record stores" with the purchase. 

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust 

I'm kind of embarrassed that I didn't already own a copy of this. Picked this album up for less than 8 dollars so I am happy. 

 Nanker Phelge - Out of Time

This is an early unofficial Rolling Stones album under the pseudonym Nanker Phelge. In the early sixties, the band used this name to credit all members of the Stones to the to royalties of certain songs. I'm not entirely sure what this album is or where it came from because there is not a lot of information I can find. I love the cover because it features the band dressed in drag. :) 

 (If anyone has any info on this please let me know!)

Eminem - Encore (DJ copy) 

 Mr. Empty is a huge Eminem fan so I bought this for him to make into a record bowl, but once we got it home we realized that he really likes the song so the melting is out! A great addition to out collection! 

 Sex Pistols - Never Trust A Hippy

Another one that we don't know much about. Mr. Empty bought this because he loves The Sex Pistols. It seems to be a rare live album. Should be fun! 

 Buddy Holly - The Buddy Holly Story

Mr. Empty has drooled over this album at record conventions and finally he found one for a reasonable price. This album can go for hundreds of dollars and he was lucky to to get this beautiful Mono copy for nearly nothing! That's what we like to call a 'Grand Theft Vinyl'

Kanye West - Through The Wire (DJ copy)

The great thing about this record is that it's a DJ copy. It has a few other versions of Through The Wire that you normally wouldn't get anywhere else. Mr. Empty got this for only $3.50. That's a steal!
