Is this place still open, and if so, is it still in Little 5 Points?

    Not surprising... it was a pretty weak store. They had some nice stuff from J-Sun's personal collection during their first few months of operation, but after that it seemed to be all overgraded junk.

    The only thing more amazing than the fact that they sold t-shirts featuring their name/logo was the fact that people actually bought those sh!ts.

    I remember some short-lived poster on here one time talking about "You can catch me chilling in my More Dusty Than Digital t-shirt..."

    Not a good look.

    I'm in Atlanta right now. Tried to call you, Jef, but couldn't get through.

    Okay. Well, I wasn't looking for raer or for Hip-Hop records. So you're review is not really relevant. But thanks.

    Hi, L*s!

    You should fly to NY this week. I'm spinning with Brent and Jason Friday night.

    Think about it.

    actually when i was at MDTD almost everything was overpriced. They had some nice new stuff and some of the old stuff was alright. i actually went around the corner though to some biggerrecord store (can't remember the name) and came up better and cheaper there.

    Wax-n-Facts, probably--that's a great store. I always find something there.

    yeh that's it. place was nice. I don't know how Dusty was even able to compete (obviously they couldn't) with that store right there.

    Wax-n-Facts is great. They're a traditional store, rather than a "digger" oriented one. Very large stock that's constantly moving. Real serious about grading... and I don't think I've seen them put a price tag of over $15 on any used record. That place provided the foundation of my collection.

    One more thing: if anybody is thinking about making an issue of the fact that I am telling--rather than selling--game in this thread, Wax-n-Facts is not a secret. It's an Atlanta institution.

    I'll always be indebted to Wax N Facts just for finding my copy of "Catch A Fire" by The Wailers there with the original Zippo cover, and for only about $12 or something. That was a beautiful day indeed. I still try to hit up Wax N Facts everytime I'm in Atlanta anymore.
