That New York Times article also mentions this Brazilian nut
also purchased the collection of the legendary "Music Man" Murray in L.A., Another massive horde of vinyl.This musical landfill was so littered with beat up,unwanted,uneeded,and generally undesirable records it was impossible to sell for many years,especially for the outrageous and unreasonable price asked. Perhaps,In reality, this siphon of vinyl is doing us a favor by taking these off our hands and out of the country.As they say in Brazil..."Viva Mantovani!"
M M Murray certainly has his fans! His old store on Santa Monica Blvd. was stocked to the gills with grade Z vinyl not only in condition but in actual content.A trip to the back room,after a considerable wait,for a specific title would produce a record virtually unplayable and so overpriced you would think it was a joke.I remember I DID actually buy a record there once,and that sticker will outlive us all.That record store was one of the last in L.A. that time forgot and one trip there would send me to one of those bars on Western for quick couple shots.
