Why is everybody getting all teary eyed in this video??? I understand music is his passion, but why is he crying over John Miles and the fact that someone won't buy his records from him??? And his wife bursts into tears too. What the fuck is there to be so sad about???

great vid!!!!!!!! a big peace of human history!

This guy fucking sucks. Crust supreme.

Eh, Paul here probably doesn't even understand heavy metal, yet he can devote an entire collection to bubblegum music. I mean, Elvis' Christmas album? Are you kidding me??? I'll bet he didn't even bother with progressive rock bands. Something tells me his tastes are very limited, expansive as his collection is. He's caught in the 'back in my day, you kids' mindset, which is dangerously limiting.

For the record, I'm not lumping in John Miles' great piece here with bubblegum music. But everything else seems to fit in that category. It's the impression I take away here.

John Miles - Music

Highest respect to this man for his dedication and thanks to the film makers for telling a snap shot of his story.

I truly agree. If I had both money and space, I'd get that myself.

Incidentally, this guy's argument about the sound quality of a record versus a CD is not entirely correct, but it is not wrong either. LP's on good quality vinyl DO indeed have better sound quality than digital recordings on CD and the like, but not recordings on 45 rpm records. They were not particularly good. And cassette tape---fugedabouddit!
