The Biggest Record Collection in the World
This short documentary is a Sundance Selection from 2009 about Paul Mawhinney, a man who is believed to own the largest record collection in the world. He amassed the collection while running a record shop in Pittsburgh for many years and archiving vinyl as he went. Now, the collection of about 1 million albums is estimated to be worth about $50 million. Mawhinney has come into health problems and economic hard times and has been struggling to sell it for a modest $3 million.
This was directed by Sean Dunne, a filmmaker in Brooklyn, New York.
