His collection was sold a while back, to a collector in Brazil, Zero Freitas, a millionaire who is collecting vinyl records in general, and is planning on making his library, much of which has never be reissued, available to the public. There was an article in New York Times, a few months ago.
If I had that kind of money I would buy it in a second. I love vinyl. I love the way it sounds. I love the way it smells. I love the feel of it in my hand. I can sit in a dim room on a Saturday night and put on some Sam Cooke and just get lost in the sound. I hope he has found a buyer since this video came out.
I was seperated by my record collection once. I was moving and there was no way in hell they were gonna be kept in storage and in the summer too! So, a friend of mine took them, and it was the most horrible month and a half EVER. I feel for this dude, only someone who collects, being records or whatever will understand. You create this perfect place of zen around your record player and your records. You play one and you're instantly in peace.
I can feel for Paul. I am almost 66 years old and I have been collecting 45's for about 50 years. The day has to come when I have to give up this wonderful hobby. In the past I have purchased quite a few 45's from Record Rama - a great place! I came to know early that the Pittsburgh area was a "hot bed" for record collectors. My best to you Paul and I sure hope your vinyl finds a great home. Take care, Ronnie Salyer
I hope this collection is never lost! What a shame if it is. Where's those highly successful people who say they care about so much? This guy is GIVING this stuff away!
Paul I am 53 years old and have been a collector of vinyl since I was 11 years old. I am so saddened by the fact that no one is inetersted in preserving this beautiful Archive of History. If I had the money and was younger I would love to be the caretaker of your legacy. I currently have a modest collection of 10,000 LP's not close to your domain but it is my pride and joy. I hope that someone steps up and brings responsibility to this one of a kind collection of vinyl records. Peace & Love
That is what it is all about!! In the midst of all those years he had those records he didn't go for the money, he stayed true to the love of the music and the vinly!!! I hope whomever bought that collection cares for it the way he did!!!
Part 3. Storing: Always store vinyl standing up. DO NOT ever stack your records as a lot of collectors do because the weight will soon cause vinyl to warp and your record jackets will soon have that ugly ring on them from the pressure. When putting your records back in the jacket, very gently slide them back in and don't let them slide fast/drop in. Letting them drop in jacket will cause edge of record jacket to start to get that ugly split. Doing these things will keep your collection beautiful
I am 13 years old. I have been collecting for about 1 year. I have some rare stuff of all sorts. I mainly collect Jethro Tull & Graham Parker at the momment. This guy is a great hero. UW2
There is nothing like vinyl records, they will ALWAYS remain a classic, if there is a new release on vinyl, I will definitely purchase that over a CD, great vid also
i lived in omaha ne and i worked at a place called homers a record store exclusive to the metro area of lincoln and omaha. the place has been around for over thirty years. its been a hangout for all my friends from high school and college, it used to have 8 or more stores around the metro area. now there is only two left and one of the stores had to be moved to a smaller location. i lost my job when my store closed and i lost a lot of good times. its sad that these stores are closing down.
I showed my dad this video a few years ago. He got pissed and went on some rant about how Paul McCartney or somebody like that with the money and means should buy this and preserve it. Its not true that no one gives a damn
I thought I saw this collection up on ebay for 2.5 million. Of course, I put a watch on it and checked it every day ( in case I got that winning lottery ticket). Just going thru them would be hours and weeks of fun - I'm constantly amazed by the records I don't know about and the discovry of something new brings my love of music to the forefront again. I hope his health improves and they can live out some of their dreams.
:::I agree with moroderswaps: large collections are easy to get damage. A small but decent collection can be stored in the right way (dust sleeves, poly-lined inners, the record outside the jacket, etc), and the best, you can actually listen to them.
Incredible clarity of picture! I've a mere 4,700 records, tapes and disks, but as a collector, can identify with you. Gawdnose what'll happen to my collection when I go (I'm 57 right now). But I'm slowly putting some of the gems up on CZcams (and trying to dodge CZcams's arbitrary "strikes" as I go). ONE quibble - 1881? I also have an Emil Berliner disc - but it says "Patented Nov. 8. 1887" (my particular one - Souza's "Love Me Little Love Me Long" by Miss. Alice Raymond is dated 1895).
i've not been able to get this out of my head... since i was little its been my dream to own EVERY single record released/made and i thought i was doin ok lol, im 26 this year and have so far discovered loads of jazz from the 78rpm era, loads of US soul/blues/doo wop from 40s 50s up to the charly reissues in the 80s/90s..... massive fan of rocksteady/reggae/ska etc own lots of orig issue stuff there.... rock/pop, from UK so obviously all the Beatles, Stones. Led Zep, Cream, orig issues etc...
Paul, If I had an extra million or two I would give it to you just because I think of what you did with your vinyl is worthy of a Noble prize. I only dream of having a friend that I could talk vinyl to nonstop on a daily basis. I would hate to hear that you have to sell your whole collection to anyone because I truly believe that a guy like you should have a movie made on him. At least a documentary of some sort done by someone like QT who loves music. Good luck, Rob/Boston
There's more than the up-front cost. There's the cost of the real estate, a structure to put the collection in, the taxes on that real estate and structure, the energy to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity, security, etc.
Same thing. I do collect vinyls a lot and love them, along with cassettes over anything else. You can get soo many music that you can't find anywhereelse on the internet. It's soo sad when we come to realize that peoples want only to buy downloadable music only to find out that the quality is awful, and that they never get the feeling that Vinyl and tape guys have....
I would rather buy separate albums because I already saw stuff in the video I can care less about. I would buy the 60s stuff like. I would go crazy if I had that many albums. I would have no idea where everything is.
What a lot of people don't know is that vinyl is pure sound and hits frequencies that cd and especially mp3. I suggest to anyone that don't believe that the quality of sound isn't better, sit down with a vintage turntable and receiver with some high end headphones or speakers and tell me it's it's not the most richest sound you ever heard.
I saw a DW tv documentary (1999 or so) in which they exposed a CD from a german archive against the light and you could see a spot damage in the surface and it was properly cared,
I feel sorry for this guy and I do think he should get this kickstarter thing. I disagree with what he said about people not giving a crap about those records anymore. After the countless hours I have spent moving my grandma's growing record collection around for her so she could relive some of the better times in her life. Seeing her smile and tear up like that shows me that people still do care. I believe that if you fight hard enough, this kickstarter thing is more than possible.
Seems to me a university or museum should take it on... its priceless. And just what IS that very first flat disc a recording OF? Was it a commercial release or just a lab thing? Did it spin at 78 RPM?
If I was the owner of this collection I would do the following: Separate the rarest 300-500 records or so in the collection and put them for sale individually on eBay. The average items in the $20-50 price range each I would put them for sale as a lots of 10 or so. The ramaning items I would donate to a government institution, such as The National Sound Archiv (if it exists), and/or donate to some charity institution or as a last resort sell them as a bulk to a paper/plastic recycle company.
I just left a message for Sonic Youth, instructing them to buy it. We'll see if that happens...... Totally amazing work here!~ I'm astonished that this situation exists. Such a miracle.
@wouldntyoulike2know Always hold your vinyl records by the edges. 45's are easy, hold the jacket in one hand and gently let the record slide out so the edge only hits the palm of your other hand. As vinyl slides out stretch out your middle finger so it rests on the center hole no matter if small or not, it's not a huge stretch. Balance the record like that, sit jacket down then take other hand and with open palm of that hand you can hold the record on edge with both hands. I'll post a part 2.
Given that there extreme rarities as well as the more common releases all in one archive, i could see this being worth 50 mil easy. I wish i was well heeled enough to go after this archive! On note though, the Berliner disc he shows is not from 1881 (unless it's test prototype). Berliner began making 5 inch metal records in Europe in the mid 1880's, and did not perfect pressing the 7 inch hard rubber records until 1887. As I recall the first available Berliner discs were released in 1889.
He means that it is an example of the type. It is a Berliner, manufactured by Emile Berliner, the inventor of the flat disc record. I have one also, mine dates from 1899.
Actually it's a brazilian guy called Zero Freitas who has the largest record collection in the world. About 6 million records...and that was in the year 2015.
Any update since this video was posted? Has Paul found a buyer yet? If not, he should hook up with an auction house likse Sotheby's. Maybe they can find a potential buyer for him.
@MrZombieIsHungry I think that record is Bakelite. It's the same material they make pot handles out of. Even if you were to put that record in an oven, it wouldn't ruin it, not that I'd want to do that. The material might be a bit brittle though.
:/ That is truly a shame. Like the previous posted stated- It's the same with books- Folks mostly flock to the library to hop on the computers or take advantage of the FREE dvd rentals.
@drprogensteinphp I should also add that this 3 million + collection is a "private" collection, not a store such as yours. However, there is a store in Calgary called Recorland that has over 200,000 vinyl LP's stocked within its retail shelves, and another 1 million plus in the back storage area. But that's hardly what I'd call a collection.
I give a damn! This is one of the greatest collections of portraits of humanity I've ever seen! I just don't have the $3million yet...how many years you gonna stick around, mate?
So what ever happened? I remember watching this when it was new. I hope some of those records were acquired by a museum & maybe others by the library of congress or the archive of some major record companies. They should be shared & made available in some way to the public.
Very extensive collection. If I were you , I would probably take better care of my records, maybe, try holding the discs on the edges so you don't soil them. I would also refrain from playing them so often with on old stylus. Add protective plastic covers for your record sleeves (especially the rare ones). Just a suggestion. Cheers
My heart sank when he said his asking price was only a measly 3million compared to the actual price of 50million. It really shows how physical media is deteriorating into nothingness and fast. Soon, records that were once priceless gems and held so close to our hearts will be worth pennies. It's a sad state of affairs.
I have about 2.9 million albums myself, and my collections grows exponentially every day. Google Play Music baby hehe... But seriously, cataloging is only one step, these records need to be tagged for song key and beats per minute. Then its on to the DJ's for harmonic and rhythmic mixing. The curation aspect is crucial in order to give these forgotten relics new life.
dude me and my bandmate were just sayin if we had enough money, this would be an awesomely cool thing to own and we'd each do shares to get it. so historical its crazee. - marcoe
Part 2. 33's are the exact same way except way to handle them as the 45's except when you stretch our your middle finger you will rest the edge of the record against the palm of your hand and your finger will rest on the lable part of the record but not on the playing surface at all. Slide record out, balance like that and then balance other edge of record against other palm. Doing this only takes a few extra moments and you will avoid things like fingernail scratches or finger prints/oils.
Paul, You deserve a Noble prize for collecting vinyl. If I was a rich man I would give you money and let you keep your collection so you would never have to sell it. You just became an idol to me and I wish I could do a documentary on your collecting lifestyle. You must have some awesome stories. I hope your still well, do not sell your collection, PLEASE. I must find your email address to write to you, Rob/Boston
I like it. I'd collected vinyl records in large amounts if I had a place for it. I think this man worth respect. To collect 1 million vinyl records and to hold them is like to be a hero. IMHO, he IS a hero. And thus he has showed his position to CD lovers. Analog sound is a lot much better than digital, and the fact that many people deny this is a fact that they are becoming robots. This man - does not. He did not broke. How about you?
His collection was sold a while back, to a collector in Brazil, Zero Freitas, a millionaire who is collecting vinyl records in general, and is planning on making his library, much of which has never be reissued, available to the public. There was an article in New York Times, a few months ago.

You derserve a medal mate! Your collection is amazing! You have got to find a way to display these gems!
I was seperated by my record collection once. I was moving and there was no way in hell they were gonna be kept in storage and in the summer too! So, a friend of mine took them, and it was the most horrible month and a half EVER. I feel for this dude, only someone who collects, being records or whatever will understand. You create this perfect place of zen around your record player and your records. You play one and you're instantly in peace.
This guy has inspired me to start calling my record collection "the archive."
I can feel for Paul. I am almost 66 years old and I have been collecting 45's for about 50 years. The day has to come when I have to give up this wonderful hobby. In the past I have purchased quite a few 45's from Record Rama - a great place! I came to know early that the Pittsburgh area was a "hot bed" for record collectors.

Loving this video! 😍 Thanks so much for sharing all your records.
Very interesting story. I need to see this film now. Thanks for posting.
Thanks a lot for sharing ! Cheers from France x
Awesome, really enjoyed this video!
whenever i see a massive valuable collection of anything like this, i just can't help but think; "FIRE!"
can you IMAGINE?
VINYL is back baby! I love the format.
I just love how the music kicks in at 1:49. Great job from the filmmakers.
I hope this collection is never lost! What a shame if it is. Where's those highly successful people who say they care about so much? This guy is GIVING this stuff away!
You need to watch the full documentary that's linked in the description if you haven't. I love this, it's fantastic.
5/5 thanks for posting!

He has sold his collection quite a few years ago from a millionaire in Brazil.
If only i were able to spend a life time in your archive .. i do give a damn about you archive i think its the most amazing thing i have ever seen
my compliment to you for that awesome collection you got ;)
big up :)
I have 3 dollars
this is AMAZING! how a guy dedicate his hole life to collect that records! love this shit!
I just got couple Vinyl record and I feel really attach to them, I can imagine how Paul is feeling about it, my best wishes Paul...
Looks like he broke the.... record.
There's an amazing amount of history in that building. It's hard to believe that there isn't an organization that will step and purchase it.
That is what it is all about!! In the midst of all those years he had those records he didn't go for the money, he stayed true to the love of the music and the vinly!!! I hope whomever bought that collection cares for it the way he did!!!

An incredible story.what a collection!fantastic.amazed that record companies havent bought the archive.
WOW....I'm speechless. What a collection!
I thought I had a large collection...until I saw this guys collection. I agree with the comments on the video quality...A++
amazing collection, someone will hopefully take it on, i wish i could.
Jesus, what a legend.
Thanks for posting!
I am 13 years old.
I have been collecting for about 1 year.
I have some rare stuff of all sorts.
I mainly collect Jethro Tull & Graham Parker at the momment.

WOW what a collection, I can't believe no ones willing to buy this, a museum or something!
Good luck trying to upload that collection to Xpoit
There is nothing like vinyl records, they will ALWAYS remain a classic, if there is a new release on vinyl, I will definitely purchase that over a CD, great vid also

I love records. Buying vinyl is my crack addition!
Chad at Acoustic Sounds buys collections.What a fantastic collection you have!

If I had the money, I would fly over and buy the whole thing!! This is just beautiful, living in a dream, ... Lot of respect to this man!
It's a damn shame....I still a few vinyl albums left and the kids still get a kick out of them.
i've not been able to get this out of my head...
since i was little its been my dream to own EVERY single record released/made and i thought i was doin ok lol, im 26 this year and have so far discovered loads of jazz from the 78rpm era, loads of US soul/blues/doo wop from 40s 50s up to the charly reissues in the 80s/90s.....
massive fan of rocksteady/reggae/ska etc own lots of orig issue stuff there....
rock/pop, from UK so obviously all the Beatles, Stones. Led Zep, Cream, orig issues etc...
im only 16 and i have collected about 200 records and i have a friend same age and we love vinyl so people still care and love them
I feel for this guy. He has so many records that may never find a new home. And worst of all, they may never get played again.
Paul,
If I had an extra million or two I would give it to you just because I think of what you did with your vinyl is worthy of a Noble prize.

REALLY AWSOME!!!!
There needs to be an update to this since this was 4 years ago
This makes my heart hurt . . Such beauty . . And man oh man, does it hurt to hear him say that no one gives a damn . .
Sad that no ones interested in this collection which is so valuable.
Richard UK
Someone in the music biz would buy this. What this guy has done is phenomenal.
There's more than the up-front cost. There's the cost of the real estate, a structure to put the collection in, the taxes on that real estate and structure, the energy to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity, security, etc.
Same thing. I do collect vinyls a lot and love them, along with cassettes over anything else. You can get soo many music that you can't find anywhereelse on the internet.
It's soo sad when we come to realize that peoples want only to buy downloadable music only to find out that the quality is awful, and that they never get the feeling that Vinyl and tape guys have....
Right on man, I can dig your input. =P
He should definitely turn it all over to the Library of Congress to be archived and released for public domain (for those that can)
I would rather buy separate albums because I already saw stuff in the video I can care less about. I would buy the 60s stuff like. I would go crazy if I had that many albums. I would have no idea where everything is.
This truly is the ultimate collection. Is there any word on if the collection was ever sold?
Wow! What a collection! Cost of shipping will be a killer.. :D
wow! impressive collection
An Infinite playlist to be sure!
i would love to spend one week there just to take in all the music , i dont really think that would be enough time. Just simply amazing!
I'm working on my collection now. I'll hopefully get there one day...
How can I get in touch with the owner of the archive?
What a lot of people don't know is that vinyl is pure sound and hits frequencies that cd and especially mp3. I suggest to anyone that don't believe that the quality of sound isn't better, sit down with a vintage turntable and receiver with some high end headphones or speakers and tell me it's it's not the most richest sound you ever heard.
I saw a DW tv documentary (1999 or so) in which they exposed a CD from a german archive against the light and you could see a spot damage in the surface and it was properly cared,
I feel sorry for this guy and I do think he should get this kickstarter thing. I disagree with what he said about people not giving a crap about those records anymore. After the countless hours I have spent moving my grandma's growing record collection around for her so she could relive some of the better times in her life. Seeing her smile and tear up like that shows me that people still do care. I believe that if you fight hard enough, this kickstarter thing is more than possible.
This guy is dedicated. It's sad he has to sell it. I've been collecting for some time.
Seems to me a university or museum should take it on... its priceless. And just what IS that very first flat disc a recording OF? Was it a commercial release or just a lab thing? Did it spin at 78 RPM?
If I was the owner of this collection I would do the following: Separate the rarest 300-500 records or so in the collection and put them for sale individually on eBay. The average items in the $20-50 price range each I would put them for sale as a lots of 10 or so. The ramaning items I would donate to a government institution, such as The National Sound Archiv (if it exists), and/or donate to some charity institution or as a last resort sell them as a bulk to a paper/plastic recycle company.
I just left a message for Sonic Youth, instructing them to buy it. We'll see if that happens......
Totally amazing work here!~ I'm astonished that this situation exists. Such a miracle.

Didn't you sell your collection on Ebay awhile back? Thanks
Given that there extreme rarities as well as the more common releases all in one archive, i could see this being worth 50 mil easy. I wish i was well heeled enough to go after this archive!
On note though, the Berliner disc he shows is not from 1881 (unless it's test prototype). Berliner began making 5 inch metal records in Europe in the mid 1880's, and did not perfect pressing the 7 inch hard rubber records until 1887. As I recall the first available Berliner discs were released in 1889.
He means that it is an example of the type. It is a Berliner, manufactured by Emile Berliner, the inventor of the flat disc record. I have one also, mine dates from 1899.

@MrZombieIsHungry I think that record is Bakelite. It's the same material they make pot handles out of. Even if you were to put that record in an oven, it wouldn't ruin it, not that I'd want to do that. The material might be a bit brittle though.
:/ That is truly a shame.
Like the previous posted stated-
It's the same with books-
Folks mostly flock to the library to hop on the computers or take advantage of the FREE dvd rentals.
@drprogensteinphp
I should also add that this 3 million + collection is a "private" collection, not a store such as yours. However, there is a store in Calgary called Recorland that has over 200,000 vinyl LP's stocked within its retail shelves, and another 1 million plus in the back storage area. But that's hardly what I'd call a collection.
it's a crying shame that probably 25-50% of that 83% he has are albums that will never be heard again in their entirety something to think about
I give a damn! This is one of the greatest collections of portraits of humanity I've ever seen!
I just don't have the $3million yet...how many years you gonna stick around, mate?
I will so take his collection! I just have $5 though...
So what ever happened? I remember watching this when it was new. I hope some of those records were acquired by a museum & maybe others by the library of congress or the archive of some major record companies. They should be shared & made available in
some way to the public.
Very extensive collection.
If I were you , I would probably take better care of my records,
maybe, try holding the discs on the edges
so you don't soil them. I would also refrain from playing them so often with on old stylus. Add protective plastic covers for your record sleeves (especially the rare ones).
Just a suggestion.
Cheers
wish you were my pops. thumbs up Sir!
As a dj I have only about 4000 records, man I would kill for this, especially since lately I've taken a liking for classic soul and old weird rock.
My heart sank when he said his asking price was only a measly 3million compared to the actual price of 50million. It really shows how physical media is deteriorating into nothingness and fast.

Paul,
You deserve a Noble prize for collecting vinyl. If I was a rich man I would give you money and let you keep your collection so you would never have to sell it. You just became an idol to me and I wish I could do a documentary on your collecting lifestyle. You must have some awesome stories. I hope your still well, do not sell your collection, PLEASE.
