Awesome And a bit worrisome...


This may explain why it seems that so few large LP collections have come up for sale on line.

Sheesh! I know I confront my mortality whenever I look at just my miniscule collection of recorded music, LPs and CDs. And that doesn't even count all of my books.

Oh well, in another lifetime...

It seems to me that Zero Freitas is saving collections that no one else wants to buy rather than keeping them from other people who want to buy them.

He's obviously deeply obsessed with buying albums but as long as he can afford what he is doing I don't see a problem with it.
