Synopsis

Paul Mawhinney was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. Over the years he has amassed what has become the world’s largest record collection. Due to health issues and a struggling record industry Paul is being forced to sell his collection.

This is the story of a man and his records. I hope you enjoy it.

I saw this about a year ago and it still stands strong, almost to tears. I am curious though where most of the collection went? A DJ friend of mine wanted to find someone really rich to buy the whole thing and bring it to Geneva.

Da.. Heartbreaking. If a tree falls in a forest when no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Thank you for capturing this moment.
