    lol.. yeah its pretty awesome. No matter how many times I have been there in my life, I always find myself in the garage and basement.. seeing new albums that Ive never seen, even though they have been there forever.
    just a suggestion, set a reasonable time frame and then methodically go through his stacks.have a pad of paper with you , so you can write down what strikes you as being worth checking out.and charting where they are.

    seems immense but if you start small you'll be through them in no time.






    Then suck up to this man so he wills these to you!lol

    I have a client at work Brian, I went to his house to check out his record collection, and got the surprise of my life......he had over 60,000 (i'll try and post some pics later when i get home), he broke out Even flow, popped it on this mad record table, called valves or something in his seperate studio, cranked it up, and I've never been so happy listening to music in my entire life. That was the day i finally GOT vinyl. Seriosuly felt like I was there at a gig or something, the sound was phenomenal, obviosuly much will eb down to that guys set up (which cost thousands), but I didnt want to move, He popped on Jeff Buckleys Grace then, and my word, spellbinding.

    That collection must be worth hundreds of thousands, he had like every 45 every record etc that Alice Cooper ever made, every beatles single, every floyd, led zepp, the doors, the who, and every quirky name you never heard, I thought i was sat with John Peel

    He told me he KNOWS he has several PJ albums, and that he would GIVE them to me. He guarantees they are unopened.. thing is, they are in NO order :( this blows.

    Does it looks like Lester Bangs' house??!! And if you come across Frampton Comes Alive or Boz Scaggs or Boston or The Eagles......please send them my way! :D
