Tom Frangione of Beatlefan sent me this last night. It's a video about a guy who owns the world's largest collection of vinyl records that he's now forced to sell. (How many of us thought we owned the biggest collection?) Enjoy.

That is such a great and sad story. Reminds me that I'm going to need to sell my collection at some point soon and I'm not sure I'm going to fare any better.

Wow. That was a good guy. I still buy vinyl (maybe 1-2 records every month). It's such a great medium. What a story that was about him though. I will be in that position someday and hope to give them away to a young person who appreciates vinyl. The day I have to give up my Hofner would be a crushing day for me. Greg

Through the Hoffman site, I found an outtake on YouTube. His story about making David Bowie a big hit sounds ridiculous. I'd have to check the dates but I think he's way off.

Bowie had already done THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST, and was huge in the UK by 1973. However, what I think Mawhinney is saying is that he was behind the first big hit Bowie had in the US, and that is not contradicted by the time line he gives. I was aware of Bowie through the articles I read in CIRCUS and HIT PARADER, but I'm not sure I'd heard anything by him until "Space Oddity" was reissued in 1973. JcS
