Former Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania record store proprietor Paul Mawhinney owns about one million record albums and about one and a half million record singles, making his the world’s largest record collection.
This fascinating short documentary explores how he built it and, due to a struggling record industry and his own ill health, why he was forced to close his store and attempt to sell his collection.
It’s a poignant glimpse at impermanence; of a passionate human life buffeted by impersonal market machinations.
