Thank goodness Zero is taking care of Paul Mawhinney's collection as well as all the amazingly rare music he has collected over the years too.

@willlewis3803 Год назад

I’m totally happy for this guy. I got over 2.700 vinyl records and still growing. Most of my records was passed to me from my dad after he passed away. To me every vinyl record is a blessing. Music is a big part of my life and I will keep on collecting records rest of my life. My music room looks like a record store I’m living a dream since childhood.

@TheMadKollektah 3 года назад

There's a difference. If you need a staff to clean and catalogue your records, then it's not called collecting. It's called hoarding and excessive buying, my friend. Let's do the math. He says he has 6 million records. Let's assume, all these have a runtime of approximately 30 minutes on average. If he actively listened to all these straight, it'd take him 342 years if he listens to all these in one go. And he says he has almost 100 copies of certain albums. And you call that collecting?
