Largest Vinyl Record Collection in the World

Paul Mawhinney of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has built what is considered the largest vinyl record collection in the world. In this video you can see footage of the sound archive, which is housed in a large storage warehouse. According to Mawhinney, the collection contains about 1 million albums and 1.5 million 45s. On top of all that, Mawhinney has cataloged the entire collection and maintains his collection in a searchable database. Good for you, Mawhinney!

As of 2009, Mawhinney has decided to retire and is looking for someone to purchase and preseve the collection, en masse. I would love to see that collection on Record Revolution. Maybe my collection will get there one day.

Website: Collecting Record Covers

IB Image I just found an interesting website called Collecting Record Covers. The site highlights cover art from rare vinyl records and celebrates the vinyl record as object.
