The Roadshow visits a town known as 'Hotlanta', where the Little Five Points District boasts not one but two great record stores. Eric Levin, co-founder of Record Store Day welcomes us to CRIMINAL RECORDS - who got their name from stealing hearts, and then goes a few doors down to the amazing WAX N' FACTS - a Crate Diggers Delight with a history that includes the B-52's and other New Wave bands. We also hit the west side of Atlanta to JB's RECORD LOUNGE, a store intimately acquainted with the burgeoning Hip Hop scene of Atlanta.
