Jesus, they're turning over the whole kit-and-kaboodle.

This is the second time its been up for auction.

I cant even imagine where to store all that vinyl. I'm at the point now where I need to build a room off my garage for my records. A friend of mine has about 30,000 albums and they have a huge room of there own.

I'd say if I had the money I would buy something like this, but...if I had the money I would probably already own something like this.

Wish some institution like the Smithsonian would step up and buy this.

Kills me that there's now a generation that has never heard vinyl...
