Is there and update on this dude, this is realy sad. If there is a fund raiser or something I can contribute to. How hard is it to raise 3 million especially for something of this importance?
If anybody has any info hit me back. It would be a sad day when his hard work goes to shit and we lose history.
Record-Rama closes
By The Associated Press
Friday, August 22, 2008
A Pine record collector who hoped to sell his vintage vinyl for at least $1 a record has instead, bitterly, closed up shop.
Paul Mawhinney locked up his Record-Rama Sound Archives for good on Thursday, saying he’s been squeezed out of business by the recording industry and big-box retailers who can sell compact discs for about two dollars less than his wholesale cost.
Mawhinney stopped buying CDs in 2002 and sold off his 300,000-disc collection in recent weeks. But efforts to sell more than a half-million albums, a million more 45 rpm singles, and thousands of tapes foundered. One buyer went bankrupt while another on eBay turned out to be bogus.
The 68-year-old started collecting records in 1951 when he bought a Frankie Laine single called “Jezebel.”
