Wax by Wax

one record at a time

Turn what you play into what you own.

Wax by Wax reads a playlist and tells you what actually exists on vinyl — record by record.

Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, or a Discogs export.

We find what exists on wax.

Not every track was ever pressed. We check.

Every pressing ever made.

Year, country, label, colour, how many exist.

Then go and buy it.

From shops that actually have it.

Spotify knows what you listen to. It doesn't know what you'd want on a shelf.

That gap — between what you play and what deserves to exist in your hands — is the whole product.

Three things. That's the app.

Some records are nearly gone.

Portishead's Dummy — the record everyone's heard — exists in surprisingly few editions.

The honest bit.

It won't find you the cheapest price on the internet. It shows what the shops we work with actually have, and tells you which links pay us.

Links that pay us are marked "Ad". Pressing facts come from MusicBrainz, the open music encyclopaedia.

Your playlists already know what you'd love on wax.
