Collector's 30,000 vinyl records up for auction

A collector's 30,000-record vinyl collection is set to go up for auction in Surrey with an expected combined price of more than £80,000.

The sale, run by auctioneers Ewbank's in Send, will be held on Wednesday and Thursday.

The unnamed deceased collector had been buying records for more than 60 years and vinyl specialist John Silke said the collection was "jaw-dropping."

"This has been the biggest single cataloguing job of my career – an extraordinary experience," he added.

Owning 30,000 records makes me wonder who the collector is. Did he/she have any connection to music? Did they work in radio, a record store, or produce music? Certainly not a casual listener, but a music lover nonetheless! I would have a hard time remembering which album went where and where the albums I wanted to listen to were. Their collection may have been alphabetized. Cool story anyhow. Imagine exploring that massive vinyl collection. 🤔
