His collection should be put into a library. As musical reference and what he don't have people should contribute. Have it as an on going record collection. It would be the only collection of it kind.
-
This guy should try to sold his collection on eBay and get a fortune! These are rare albums and World market have a plenty vinyl collectors.
-
Wish I could somehow help him. That's collection of art of it's finest form and nobody gives a damn. Makes me sad too.
-
@ThinLippedDwarf Nah, I just visited his website.
He takes collectors on a tour of the archives but they must guarantee they will buy at least $5000 worth of stuff, plus there's a breakdown of how many sealed or used LPs or singles you can buy...

Who else wants to be the joint owner of the worlds largest record collection?
'nmycon' - are you saying that you know Mr Mawhinney would go in for a sale if 600 of us went in at $5000 each to make the $3m? If so then I guess its worth contacting him and we can start looking for partners - and yes I'm serious. I'm not sure how things work legally in the US with multiple owners of something like this but we could get something drafted up to say it can never be split or sold on etc?
-
So how much does he actually want for it ?
No sane person would want to split it up so rather than talk about how valuable it is we just need an answer to a very basic question. How much do you want for it?
Then we can start to look at buying it between us? Or has anyone actaully got a few million spare? (of course not - right?)
-
@nelmsters he requires a minimum purchase of $5000

It would be a damn shame to lose such a musical treasure. The Smithsonian Institute, Library of Congress, or someone needs to preserve such an archive.

I wish I had $3 Million. I'd buy this collection in a heartbeat. The fact about %83 of this music is NOT on compact disc...is thought provoking to say the least. Cheers to Sean Dunne!
