Best Vinyl For Collectors Last Wax Records
402 N. Fourth Ave. STAFF PICK: All over the country, the number of stores
that still sell used vinyl has dropped to a bare minimum. One
of the few survivors left in Tucson (not counting the vast vinyl
juggernaut that is PDQ Records) is Last Wax Records. Owner
Bob "Pepe" Galvez has kept this little treasure trove
alive for some five-odd years now, and one of the charms of his
store is that he's a collector himself. Friendly and personable,
he'll probably be as enthusiastic about what you're seeking as
you are. Because it's a small store, Pepe avoids the junky stuff
(Captain & Tennille records have pretty much been banished),
filling the bins instead with top-quality rock, jazz, reggae,
world music, soundtracks, EZ-listening, comedy, spoken word, rap,
and even some DJ/dance stuff. We've found all sorts of rarities
there that we couldn't find anywhere else. And relatively speaking,
the prices totally rock.
