Mr Waxy
For music lovers in Chertsey and beyond, Mr Waxy wasn't just a shop—it was a sanctuary, a warm corner of the world where rare sounds came alive and strangers became friends over shared discoveries. Founded by Michael Scott, fondly known as "Mr Waxy" or simply Mick, the shop stood as a testament to one man's deep, lifelong passion for vinyl.
Mick had already poured twenty years into the world of records, starting out trading in Sunbury and then at the bustling Portobello Road Market in London, where the energy of collectors and crates of forgotten treasures first captured his heart. In 1979, he brought that same spirit to Chertsey, opening Mr Waxy on Guildford Street, where it thrived until 1989. Inside those walls, an extraordinary collection grew: around 500,000 singles and 60,000 albums, many reaching back to the 1920s—fragile 78s carrying echoes of jazz legends, early blues, and the dawn of recorded music. Mick had an uncanny knack for unearthing the obscure, the rare, the soul-stirring. Customers recall him as endlessly kind and generous, always willing to dig deep into his hidden stock for that one elusive Zappa album, psych single, or Lee Perry dub plate. He didn't just sell records; he shared joy, connection, and the quiet thrill of holding history in your hands.
Tragically, that warmth was cut short far too soon. On Saturday, February 4, 1989, Mick Scott passed away at just 39 years old at St. Peter's Hospital in Chertsey. What began as what seemed like a stomach issue was misdiagnosed as an ulcer, leading to a six-week course of tablets and well-meaning but misguided advice to drink milk and eat rice puddings to "line his stomach." In truth, he was suffering from hardening of the arteries—a condition that claimed him less than two days later. The day he was taken by ambulance, staff asked Gloria, his devoted wife, to call back in an hour. Unable to bear the wait, she rang after just thirty minutes, only to hear the devastating news that he was gone. The loss left a void that words can scarcely capture; a gentle, generous man taken in the prime of his life, leaving behind not only a grieving family but a community of record hunters who felt they'd lost a true friend.
In the wake of such heartbreak, Gloria Scott stepped forward with quiet strength, keeping Mr Waxy alive and the doors open. She carried on Mick's legacy, tending to the shelves and welcoming those who still came seeking solace in sound. Yet fate dealt another cruel blow. In April 1992, a devastating house fire consumed the shop and the adjoining family home, erasing years of memories in flames. Soon after, flooding swept through, destroying a heartbreaking portion of what remained of the collection—precious records warped and ruined, a final, unbearable loss.
Mr Waxy endures in the hearts of those who knew it: a place of wonder, warmth, and wonderment, built by a man whose love for music touched so many lives. Though the shop and so much of its magic are gone, the echoes linger—in the stories shared online, in the nostalgia of former regulars, and in the enduring truth that a truly great record shop is never just about the vinyl. It's about the people who make it feel like home. Rest in peace, Mick Scott—Mr Waxy. Your passion lives on.
