My favorite record shop: hands down. Part of it is nostalgia; I've been buying records here for almost 40 years. But the quality of the used vinyl is always top notch. That's the thing that keeps me coming back. They don't use a grading system for the used records, but the quality is reflected in the pricing. Simple. Rare items typically will have minimal highlights like "1974 pressing," but that's it. Another cleaning at home makes the used vinyl even better, but in my experience the quality and price is the best in Atlanta.

Great selection of alternative rock CDs. Don't really relate to their cassette tape collection, but maybe they will start carrying re-released cassettes. Good prices on used vinyl. They will also order you what you'd like. Doesn't hurt at all that they are right next door to Choc-a-Latte coffee!

Update: 6.28.22I keep coming back over the years, and thought I should provide an update. This has become one of my favorte create digging spot. The R&B (Soul) section has grown over the years, in fact, I am not sure it has grown or that they have provided more relaste for it. But it is now easy to access. I have found some rare joints here and always vist this location about 2 times a month.Store seems organized very well. Seemed to lean more to Rock, Jazz and Classical. I was shocked the R&B section was somewhat smaller than I expected, yet I was able to find some Diamonds. It's the type of place I have on my once every 3 month visiting list. Because of the location I can see them getting much traffic for R&B, Soul or hip-hop to make me check them more often.

orem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Wuxtry in Decatur is everything an indie record store should be. The walls are covered in old newspapers, band and concert posters, and new/rare vinyl records for sale. The staff is super nice and knowledgeable and they’ve always got great music playing in the store. Often you’ll also run into the owner’s dog, Podushka, hanging out in the store. They have a great selection of new and used vinyl across most genres, especially Rock, Jazz, Classical, and Blues. In terms of layout, it's all very well organized, but the store is fairly small so it can be a little tight to move around in there if it's busy. If you haven’t already visited Wuxtry in Decatur, it’s a must-stop for any vinyl collector.
If only I brought a bigger suitcase I would’ve easily walked away with at least 5 albums 😢. Great staff/ great music selection and great prices. I did however get a shirt!
