What customers say

Fun store with a great owner. Lots of good jazz and older rock to pick from, good selection. Reasonably priced considering the quality for most LPs. Cool area in the back for live performances, too. Decent bargain bin, too. Everything you'd be looking for in a smaller record store.

Absolutely phenomenal record shop. If you read my reviews, you know that I find independent record stores in every city I tour to when playing concerts. It’s such a thrill to find a place like Dead Wax.

A fantastic experience with the assistant of the two professionals who work at Dead Wax Records. We are visiting from NC when we came across this amazing establishment. I was able to purchase a hard-to-find Kraftwerk LP album while feeling like a nine year-old child at the store. A MUST VISIT IN STL! ♥️

Visited for my first time today and found some great stuff to bring back to shop. Jeremy was fun to talk too and knows his stuff.
