The Greatest Music Collection in the World - for sale!

Author:
Post Date: Feb.21.08

Did you know that Pittsburgh is unofficially home to the largest collection of recorded music in the world? It’s true – but not for much longer. Paul Mawhinney, owner of Record-Rama Sound Archives, has been collecting records for about 60 years. His collection is comprised of over 3 million records and 3 hundred thousand compact discs, spanning many decades and genres. While operating the store in its original McKnight Road location and its more recent home in a former dance club in Pine, Mawhinney created a catalog of his collection and published Music Master, a guidebook for buying and selling used records. But now he’s looking to part with the relics that encompassed his life’s work for so long. For $3,000,000.00, it could all be yours, and to any audiophile with an awareness of the high price of rare vinyl and an appreciation for the preservation of the medium, that’s a small price tag for a priceless collection of history.
Here’s a link to the official website.
