Wuxtry Records-Athens

Good selection. Prices are high and bootlegs are mixed in. New records can be found for $10 less elsewhere.

5 star review

Omg, this place is awesome! Total Nerdvana. It's kind of a hot, disorganized mess, but the guy on the register was super friendly and happy to help. Great place to find really old comics and new stuff, vintage toys as well.

I haven't been here since 2002. It was so cool walking in there. If you listen to vinyl, they have a large selection to go through. 12" as well as 7". If you collect action figures, comics, hot wheels. A great place to go and start your own collection of what you like most. Only one thing that I didn't like was when my son called and asked if they were open and if we needed a mask. "Yes, they still require you to wear a mask before entering," the man told him, "I answered the phone so we are obviously open." So from me to you sir, many stores answer the phone when closed. So answering the phone doesn't automatically suggest you are open. That was not only rude toward my son. But made no sense. Though they were polite as we shopped. Making sure we didn't need any help.

Absolutely AMAZING place!!! I buy most of my CDs here however this holiday season I was looking for an oddly specific record for a friend. Staff was more than happy to help with my search and to my surprise was quite knowledgeable about the artist in question!! Then proceeded to not only assist me with looking for said record but they actually found it for me!!! I genuinely believe that they have something for everyone in this store, I couldn't possibly recommend it enough!

★★★★★ for selection, ★★☆☆☆ for customer interaction This store has one of the deepest punk and hardcore selections I’ve ever seen—far beyond the usual surface-level titles. That’s the main reason I keep coming back. Unfortunately, the customer interaction has been consistently cold every time I’ve visited. I’ve asked straightforward questions about availability or recent stock and have repeatedly gotten one-word answers, with no attempt at conversation or engagement, even when the store is slow and I’m making a purchase. Given how deep and thoughtfully curated the punk section is, I honestly expected more willingness to talk music or even basic friendliness. I don’t need hand-holding, but the responses have at times felt dismissive rather than neutral. I’ll continue to shop here for the records themselves, but the overall experience would be much better with a more welcoming atmosphere.

Filled with records, sounds, and loads character, Wuxtry offers a large inventory of used and new records, CDs, and cassettes. The selection is diverse and fun to dig but is lacking of top shelf rarities if that's your thing. I didn't find anything today but did get to see the shop where R.E.M. met and the flip therapy I came for! As you walk around the block, keep your eyes on the sidewalks to check out the bronze "guitar pick" plaques that honor the city's musical history.
