While exploring the eclectic Industry Alley in West Palm Beach, I discovered Rust & Wax. If you are an audiophile, vinyl might be your pleasure. Who remembers shopping for records that offered large, detailed album artwork and liner notes? if you want to tap back into the nostalgia for records, Rust & Wax is a place you will want to visit. Rust & Wax was opened in 2017 by Melanie and Jesse Friedman as a pop-up tent. They went on to open their large, bright, and well organized store here in Industry Alley. There is a wide selection of soul, funk, rhythm and blues, hip hop, rock, modern pop, jazz, indie, alternative, punk, metal, experimental, electronic, and Latin new and used records. They also sell 45's, CD's, tapes, books, shirts, pins, patches, vintage collectibles, and novelties. They will buy your vinyl and they have in store events and listening parties. Follow them on social media for the latest inventory and events. If you love music and collecting, this owner-operated record shop is a treasure trove. People still choose records for their superior, warm analog sound quality, You can chat with the employees and see their picks. Rust & Wax is more than just a music store, it is a community hub for music lovers. read more

I have spent 100's of dollars there. The one time I wanted to return something because I already had it, they said they would deduct 40%. This place is a rip-off!!! Better off on Amazon, same price, and you can return it. read more

What a great hidden gem on WPB. There is so much vinyl it's a bit overwhelming (in the best way). Everything was by category with used and new vinyls. Easy to spend sometime browsing with a nice size and bright store. It's well organized and a nice full selection of any type of music you may enjoy. Can't wait to come back !! read more

Huge collection of vinyl and CDs, used and new. Prices are great compared to other shops. Fun selection of zines and other products, too. Staff are beyond friendly and super helpful, and policies are clear and reasonable. Repeat stop for me on visits to West Palm. read more

I hadn't visited the new location of Rust & Wax until recently when I had tickets to the Lord Huron new album early listening gathering. The shop is a cool and relaxing spot to sift through vinyl both new and used, talk releases with the staff, maybe glance at a book or two, before leaving with something that struck your eye. For my money, I picked up a vinyl copy of the Cure's 1982 Pornography album, which I didn't have in that format. It was a good price where I didn't mind parting with some dollars to bring home. I enjoyed my experience thoroughly at Rust & Wax and will return to gander and determine other purchases. read more

I went here yesterday for the first time to sell some old classic rock vinyl. The whole experience could not have been nicer. Loved the store and the employees working there could not have been friendlier or more professional. read more

I want to start by saying that I haven't been to this store myself--yet--but my mom went today. She stopped in to try and sell some old records. While she wasn't able to sell them, she walked away with something even more valuable: an amazing experience that she truly needed. She's been on her own and going through a very rough week. After meeting Bella and Tommy, she called me just to share how kind, warm, and uplifting they were. They went above and beyond--not only connecting with her, but making her feel genuinely cared for at a time when it mattered most. I just want to say a big thank-you to Bella, Tommy, and Rust & Wax for your kindness. It means the world to hear how you brightened her day without even knowing the impact you were having. I can't wait to visit the shop myself the next time I'm in town--it sounds incredible! read more

Love this place. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The selection is awesome with tons of great new and used vinyl, and it's all well curated. Always feels like I find something unexpected and at a great price. read more

Real nice store. All kinds of stuff. New and used vinyl, CDs. Good selection. They also have all kinds of memorabilia.

Rust and Wax Record Shop is everything a record store should be, warm, welcoming, and packed with personality. The selection is insane, from classic soul and jazz to obscure funk and local indie finds, they've got crates you'll want to dig through for hours. The staff actually knows their stuff and gives great recommendations without being pushy. The vibe is chill, nostalgic, and creative, you can tell it's run by people who truly love music. Bonus points for the clean layout and fair prices. read more

Rust & Wax - What more can you want? - Vinyl Records Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

good selection and nice people. very helpful. I found what I was looking for. It brought me back in time as I walked into the store

This is one of the cleanest and most well organized record stores in which I've ever shopped. The staff has always been very helpful and I've been able to have some items ordered in. I've also made purchases through their website for pick up without any issues. Their selection of new vinyl, especially new alternative and indie albums, is always top-notch. Although the store isn't very large, I manage to find a couple records to buy every time I stop by and would certainly recommend Rust & Wax above other local record store options. read more

I sold Rust & Wax my collection of records from the 70's and got a great price. It took the staff there about 40 minutes to evaluate the entire 200 record collection and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you are looking for 70's rock albums, head over to Rust & Wax and purchase some of the records I just sold while they last...! Great place, friendly staff, highly recommended. Thanks Jesse...! read more

Stopped in driving from Miami to Melbourne. A few friends recommended it as a good shop for what I'm after (90s to current punk ie Fat Wreck Chords and Epitaph type stuff). They had a pretty small section but it was excellently stocked and prices were pretty reasonable. Most of what I was looking at seemed to be standard black distro copies, but that was ok with me. Would love to go back someday again. read more

One of the best stores in the country! Clean! Organized! Easy to browse! Welcoming! Great service! This shop is very well ran with an amazing ownership and genuine approach to the customer experience which seems to be lost in other shops. An absolutely great experience and I can't wait to return. They are all things a shop should be. The $1 bin yes is beat up but they are a buck. For example a beat up Led Zeppelin for $1 that would easily be $10 any where else. Strongly recommended this shop, you won't be disappointed. read more

Rust & Wax - Shop - Vinyl Records Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Great little local shop in West Palm. Stopped in as I always have to when passing a record shop. Limited parking lot surprisingly had one spot open for me! Was happy with the selection and organization of the shop. I was pleased to see that the pricing was very reasonable and the new albums on the lower end of the MSRP. I appreciate a clean shop that takes the time to make it easy for someone like me to find stuff in a hurry. Artists names are clearly marked and labeled so I can skip things I'm not looking for as opposed to shops that do not separate out the good from the trash. Will for sure be back. read more

Very nice owners. Had a great time at the private listening party for the Barbie Movie.

Awesome place with great music selection, and the staff is super nice. Lots of goodies to browse and to choose from.

The owner was friendly and was happy to answer questions. Very good variety music and a great atmosphere in the shop.

Fantastic spot! Great atmosphere, super clean, welcoming, and tidy. They have a hand sanitizing station at the door, which we were kindly requested to use upon entering. The selection is very well organized and it's easy to flip through the different sections and genres. Also wound up with some fun finds in the dollar bin, which I'm looking forward to sampling in my productions. What I loved most though, is that I had my little girl with me for some quality daddy/daughter crate digging, and even though she was somewhat rambunctious due to her excitement, the couple at the counter were so gracious and friendly, and even gave her a cool sticker, which she promptly and proudly placed on her hand. I really appreciated the hospitality, and this awesome shop is now a must stop for whenever I'm in West Palm! read more

Excellent vinyl shop has gone from charming and small, to much larger and more extensive. Lots of old original record as swell as new releases and reissues. A gem of a record shop in the WPB area. Follow them on Instagram for a sneak peek of what's in stock. Great folks and a great shop! read more

Happy to have such an awesome record shop open locally! Love the $1 bin aka hidden treasure chest! Also, got some great new finds!

Best record store I've ever been to. The selection is amazing, and the staff is even better. Will definitely come back again.

Amazing shop with very cool finds in the used section and a very friendly couple that owns the place! I'd give it 10 stars if I could

Rust & Wax is my go to record shop in the area. The selection of new and used vinyl is really well picked. I have found many gems here (Talking Heads, Grateful Dead, The Clash) and look forward to finding many more. You can tell they put time into the quality of the records they sell too. I have never had any issues with scratches or skipping of older records. Jesse and Melanie are always happy to recommend some new artists and have a great taste in upcoming musicians in the area and nationally. read more

I did a review on this place a year is so ago and I was in the area again so I stopped in. First off they have a new location. The place was sparkling clean, organized and prices were spot on. The owner was working and he was friendly and easy to talk to. I bought one vinyl album- George Harrison and one 45- Edie Brickel. I will absolutely return when I am in the area. read more

This is a great place to browse the selection while you're at Elizabeth Ave. It's a smaller selection but there are some really quality records in there and the staff is always very helpful. You will find something you're interested in, and it will be in good condition. I got the James Bond theme songs which is, of course, a classic. read more

The modern day record shop has arrived. Great blend of quality records and everything else you could hope for, unique T-shirts, candles, cards, books AND most importantly, great vibez read more

Well curated record store, off Dixie, lots of parking, clean and well organized. They have many of the titles you would expect. For me, the mix of new to used was too high - easily 5:1 new vs used. I don't enjoy shopping for new records that I can get online for 20-30% cheaper (My Morning Jacket Live 2015 for $40 - with multiple online options for $30-$33 with free shipping). Also, jazz section was light and 99% new pressings. I want to and do support the independent stores. But maybe I'm old school - record shops should be mostly unique used "finds" - that's the exciting part of bricks and mortar vinyl shopping for me - it's the adventure. Holding a new press of Elvis Costello My Aim is True priced at $25 is not the experience I seek at these places. Finding a first pressing of the same in great condition priced at $12, now that is exciting. Despite my experience here, I do recommend a visit to Rust and Wax - you may have a different take. read more

My all time favorite record store. I remember discovering them at the Miami flea market and purchasing Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here from them. From there I ended up purchasing many great first and second pressing records including Led Zeppelin IV, CCR's cosmo factory, Tears For Fears's Songs from the Big Chair, and many more. I always feel super welcomed whenever I pay them a visit at a record fair or at their store; they're very cordial, sincere, and they know their stuff. Their prices are fair and they have a prolific collection ranging from classic rock to disco. No where in south Florida can you find such a good used collection with great conditions, definitely pay this shop a visit I guarantee you'll find something you need and more! read more

Rust & Wax is this perfect little gem of a record store located inside Elizabeth Ave Station in West Palm Beach's warehouse district. They have an incredible selection of classic records and even new and local artists. The owners are the nicest people ever and really know their stuff! They clean and test all of the used records to insure that you are getting the sound you are looking for. I will definitely be going back to add to my collection! read more

Small shop with a limited selection. There were some good finds, but most of the records were overpriced. It was worth checking it out, but I went elsewhere to buy. read more

Rust and Wax is the kind of shop that every collector wishes they had in their neighborhood. Every time they're in Miami we make sure not to miss them! They have a great, diverse, and ever-evolving selection with a mix of value bins that have some real gems inside. We've found some of our all-time favorite records in their shop, including limited edition pressings and rare foreign releases. Looking for a particular record? Let them know and they'll keep their eyes peeled. They also sell top-notch equipment and can recommend anything that you're looking for. The owners are truly passionate, kind, and honest people, and the shop is cute as can be. We love you, R&W! read more

Small vinyl record shop but it has an awesome selection and variety. Guaranteed to find something for everyone's taste.
