THE ARCHIVE: WORLD'S LARGEST RECORD COLLECTION

This is a short documentary about Paul Mawhinney, the former owner of Recordrama in Pittsburgh PA and owner of the world largest record collection. Paul explains that only 17% of his collection can be found on modern formats. That means that the vast majority of the music of the past is completely inaccessible to the public.

Paul's collection is estimated to be worth 50 million dollars, but he can't sell it for a minimal 3 million. I know where I'm going next time I'm in Pittsburgh!
