I would spend hours in his store. I would get there when he opened in the morning and browse until afternoon. I still wouldn't get through what I wanted to. Near the end of his career, I was the only one in the store besides him and his wife. I would talk with him and he would take me into the archives from time to time to show me around. It was amazing. I hated that I was the only one in there. People had forgotten how incredible the albums were that he had in there. It was like walking through a museum. I miss that place.

I like the littl crackles and pops at the end..nice touch for a touching story! I surely hopes he doesn't think people don't give a dam...it's just that most of us that would cherish the collection the way he has it can't afford the 3 million dollar price tag!

This guys collection is really incredible. And I bet he has looked after them too. He seems like someone who cares so much about the vinyl record that I bet he would make sure they stayed in pristine condition as to preserve it's crisp warm sound throughout the years to come. I would like to know where this guy is based because I plan on road tripping across the USA next year for a record shopping trip and would love to stop by and have a look through this museum of awesomeness.

Does anyone know how I can contact him? I can't buy the collection, unfortunately, but I saw this video on PBS and wanted to tell him how much I appreciated his dedication to the art of vinyl.

He's right about the quality of vinyl. Today's society is convenience over quality.

He's right on about vinyl sounding better than cd. That's why vinyl sales have increased every year for the last 3 or 4 years. Artist prefer vinyl as well. I'm not sure if he has the worlds largest collection though. I also collect records (15,000 singles & 2,000 albums) and in my travels I have seen some huge collections like Val Shiveley's in Upper Darby, Pa. or Flipside in Hermitage.

can i just say that hats off to you paul for the biggest vinyl collection that you have built up over the years, but i,m also sad that you have to give it all up after all those years collecting. i wish i had $3 million dollors (not sure what that would be in uk money) but i don,t.

@randycornhole Lots of hardcore record collectors listen to them on mediocre stereos. The point to them is variety, not playback quality. Oddly, a lot of pro musicians (Mick Jagger among them) listen to their tunes on a boom-box. Audiophile musicians like Lou Reed or Jack White are uncommon.

I'm really surprised that somebody who puts money into preservation of our culture hasn't jumped on this. I guess it's probably more a matter of storage and maintaining it than the money. I wonder if he'd recoil at my art or thank me...

Hang in there, in the last two years (in Europe at least), CD sales have fallen 10% per annum, mp3 downloads have risen 28%, and vinyl sales have risen 33% per annum! Supermarkets and electronics stores are selling not one, but a whole range of turntables. Vinyl is back!

@mace1337 Same with me, mace! Imagine the journeys of discovery you'd be making as you go, artist to artist, finding LP's from the dim far reaches of your youth, album art that you hadn't seen in decades, in my case... But transporting it would be a major logistical nightmare; you couldn't just pack them into some UHaul boxes and hire some rent-a-wino's to load up for you. You'd almost have to leave them in place, regardless of where you lived...

Give me the money so I could make the whole world wake up! Cd is not bad but they could be better. The only way I could listen to Taylor swift is on a cd. That is the only reason I have cd for. Is because of her. If she made vinyl cd I would buy some of them. This man need to open up a dance place where you go and dance and have a good time. That would be better then a music store. Some people do give a dame!
