House Of Wax

Picture
Fabulous Oldies shop. Virtually all stock in mint/unplayed condition. Some real rarities. 
Owner Dave Frickers kept everything in pristine condition and was almost sorry when 
he had to sell anything!! Comment: LYNNE BRODIE.
( Jan 30, 2016) The House of Wax was the very first rare record shop I visited when I got into record collecting in the late 70s. Dave was always a top man - friendly, knowledgable and 100% genuine. He had a lot of time for me, and was always happy to give advice, and even discounts! A guy I owe a lot to for his help and guidance in the early days, and who I always have maximum respect for. I wonder what Dave's doing now? Hope he's well. Comment: Gene
Robertson.

Comment
Listening to Rockabilly Radio today my thoughts cast back to the 80s when I used to hang at House of Wax in Kentish town.
Dave built on my knowledge of rock and roll and vinyl... And is probably responsible for the colkection of wax and Dansette record players tgat clutter our home..

I have a flyer from the House of Wax record shop after it moved to Kentish Town NW5. Must have been 79/80. Never had money to buy anything but spent lots of time there nonetheless! Thanks for cataloging all these stores most long gone. Best Oona
