Records. Analog Sound. Vinyl. Wax. 45's. 78's. 33 1/3. So much music, so many amazing artists...This documentary is jaw-dropping and kinda sad if you're a vinyl junkie like me. I remember DJing on WZRD Chicago 88.3fm for years and always dipping into their record collection for each show. They have over 17,000 albums and a couple thousand 45's, but Paul Mawhinney's collection in this vimeo is phenomenal. He has the World's Largest Collection of Records. Yes. World Record. Oddly enough, both myself and The Livewire begin a strictly vinly night at The Abbey (3420 W. Grace St.) on Wednesday, September 29th.
