Quite interesting how much music is on vinyl that is not on any other format.

Quoting Paul Mawhinney: "Nobody gives a damn!"

I think the big issue here is copyright, he does not own the copyright of the recordings therefore anyone acquiring the collection cannot do much with it beyond admiring it or breaking it up to recover some if their investment. Furthermore archiving 1m vinyl records is a huge and probably expensive undertaking. Conclusion, too much cost for too little reward.

On the older stuff isn't there a copyright end date? I can for instance copy Shakespeare plays but I can't do that for newer plays

Shakespeare died over 300 century ago, however there hardly any LP is over 60 years, so copyright is still an issue.

In many cases, CP protection can end in under 50 years. It varies based on region and types of contract.

Great video Rich. I just love all of the warm and sympathetic comments from my fellow AR members.

Here's a guy who clearly loves music and has put together a collection of true historical value. I guess that's not moving enough...

...oh I know Bill, what if he had collected 400 multi channel titles?
