The store that was supposed to be Wax Trax was in Pretty in Pink.
I used to make pilgrimages to Wax Trax to buy their VHS bootlegs of Echo and the Bunnymen tapes from Japan some 17 or 18 years ago.
I thought they did a fairly decent job of recreating the Wax Trax location somewhere in California but it would have garnered John Hughes some major indie cred if he would have taken a crew to the actual Chicago location.Unions ,travel expenses etc probably made the California store creation more feasible.
I remember reading that the store owners were frustrated with rumors that Al Jourgensen (of Ministry) was the owner which resulted in droves of poseurs and fans hoping to get a glimpse of their industrial techno music hero picking up the daily receipts or something.
