World’s Largest Record Collection

Posted on | February 11, 2010 | No Comments

Paul Mawhinney’s record collection needs a home. The owner of the now defunct Record-Rama in Pittsburg has given his entire life to collecting music and now wants to pass it along. The entirety of his life’s work, including sealed duplicates of almost everything, can be yours for a mere $3 million.

A couple of years ago, an ebay bid was placed on the collection but it turned out to be bogus and the buyer never paid up. As far as I can tell, the collection is still up for sale.

There is talk of creating a non-profit called The Audio Preservation Fund whose goal would be “to open a museum, online database and shop under the name The Worlds Greatest Music Collection, while expanding the collection via both donations of records by individuals and by incorporating other major record collections from around the world.”

Sounds good to me.
