The Wrap

Hiding on the second floor of a building on South State Street, Wazoo Records has been an Ann Arbor fixture since 1974. It has outlasted CDs, digital downloads and streamers, and now a new generation of University of Michigan students is discovering the appeal of owning physical music. Not bad for a record store with a second-floor address.
