For Sale: The World’s Greatest Music Collection
February 20, 2008
For a cool US $3,000,000 you could buy 3 million records and 300,000 CDs containing more than 6 million song titles. It’s the undisputed largest collection of recorded music in the world according to the seller.
This auction is taking place now over at eBay and already it’s been viewed over 150,000 times.
The new owner of this magnificent collection will also acquire (1) the rights to Spin-Clean, the owner’s patented vinyl record cleaning system, considered the best on the market by audiophiles the world over, (2) the rights to Discmist CD cleaner, (3) CD Saver 2-part archival CD storage sleeves, (4)Yellow Jacket 45 RPM acid-free archival storage sleeves, (5) ownership of the owner’s six publishing companies and eight independent record labels, and (7) more than $100,000 worth of antique recording and listening devices and other music memorabilia currently on loan to a museum.
I notice he doesn’t mention the right to the collections website The World’s Greatest Music Collection - not that you’d have much time for it as I’d guess it would take you a couple of years to unpack this little lot.
