Yes it's precisely what we need! something new, something fresh! Evolution is a good thing!
I totally agree with you!markenstien wrote:I have to say i'm actually really shocked about the responses to this post.
Funnily enough i though most people on here were passionate about music and would find this guys dedication to music and the pure passion he shows for it really incredible.
I for one would like to shake his hand and spend a long long time looking through his collection. In my eyes he's a great man who shows a respect and love for music that is thouroughly lacking in todays music culture.
And saying a man who has owned a record shop all his life and spent every penny he's earned on collecting music hasnt given his life to music is just crazy! He's given more of his life to music than all of todays bandwagon jumping scene chasing producers/Djs that we see so much of around here.
Take it easy guys and maybe one day when you have collected all the music from your life some jumped up little kid can tell you its all sht and youre a loser
well, if you can cough up 3 million, I think you can just leave it where it is and rent a nice apartment somewhere in the neighborhood.shypht wrote:I don't think this guy is exactly targeting your average Joe personal collector. I think it's great that he's collected so many Vinyls, and probably has quite a few rare / out of print and no longer available ones in there. There is some value to preserving history for the sake of preserving history - even if not every record in the pile is a gem.
Part of the problem is not only coming up with the $3mill, but also the transportation and storage of the Vinyls. It's gotta take up quite a bit of space, and even if someone just happened to have $3mill to burn - they probably don't have the space / resources to deal with that much Vinyl.
