The Archive


Paul Mawhinney owns the largest private record collection in the world: 3 million records and 300,000 CDs totalling more than 6 million song titles dating back to the first flat record from 1881. Since his health has deteriorated, he's closed down his shop and has been trying to sell the collection and pass on the torch to someone else. However he's yet to find someone who “gives a damn“ or at least enough of a damn to pay $3,000,000 for it. (h/t music like dirt).
