Calling all Producers… Calling all DJ’s… this post is for you!!!!!!!  Pittsburgh, PA resident Paul Mawhinney has been collecting records since the late 1940’s and has amassed an astounding collection through the years, over 3,000,0000 of them.  Alas he is selling his collection, the largest in the world.

The reason he is selling it comes directly from his website thegreatestmusiccollection.com

Advancing age, declining health and associated financial concerns, are forcing the owner of the collection to part with the result of his lifelong passion. It’s not a decision made lightly or without considerable soul searching.

The sad thing is it has been estimated being worth 50 million dollars, knowing that Paul Mawhinney is only selling it for 3 million and he can’t find a buyer!!!  No muesam, collector, library want’s it he recently had a ebay auction that fell through.  I don;t understand it, this is history he mentions in the video that i will post below that about 80% of his “archive” one can not purchase!!!  That is crazy to me some like Bill Gates or Warrent Buffet can’t come in a save a collection like this.  I mean this is something that someone put there whole life into and no one wants it and that’s sad.

I say the top producers and DJ’s should come together and purchase this collection.  I mean as a former DJ and a continue lover of all music, this to me is a GEM.  So to all the Kanyes, Pharrells and Timberlands of the world get together and buy this if you can appreciate music and know that this would be not only saving music that one can’t even find anymore but just imagine all the sample you could get from 3,000,000 records
