World’s Largest Record Collection

When John and I moved last year (still within Los Angeles County), we re-discovered our record collection — 30 linear feet of vinyl albums — and decided we just HAVE to go through them at some point, to see what we can sell/give away/toss/keep. We still plan to do that, some day soon (smile).

So, yesterday, when I heard on National Public Radio about Paul Mawhinney in Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh-based publisher of the Music Master record price guide, and his collection of 3 million records and 300,000 CDs (that he’s planning to offer for sale on Ebay), I couldn’t help but share his story with you.
