Posted by dantana on Aug 19, 2008
No, not quite. It's Paul Mawhinney of Pittsburgh PA whose collection, dubbed "The Archive," is the largest in the world consisting of one million albums and one and a half million singles. The video, after the jump, is from cinematrographer Sean Dunne and was spotted at NahRight.

Chach is on point. The next Roots picnic should be dedicated to buying this guy's collection and giving it a permanent space so the beautiful piece of history won't be taken away. Or maybe getting the state of PA to preserve his building somehow. Whatever needs to be done. Shit is tragic.

the cold truth is that nobody gives a damn about vinyl anymore... sad but true. Vinyl DOES sound 100 times better than any digital format but they just don't get it.
