Music Store Buys Hoarder House Collection of 250,000 Records

Apollo Music in Port Coquitlam, BC, outside Vancouver, were contacted last year about taking possession of the massive record collection that one of their ex-customers had left behind in his house when he passed away. What they found astounded and amazed them, and it is still a work in progress.

Sometimes stuff just gets away from you. Mock not lest ye be mocked.

If you know somebody who's dying to get rid of their great record collection, give us a call at saki!

Here's the Apollo Records blog where you can read more about it.

The Party and The Archive

The party was a blast and if you weren't able to make it, we think you missed something very special that certainly won't happen again any time soon.

A big surprise came when The Coctails announced that they'd organized a compilation CD with a new track by almost every band who's ever been on CTR, each with a Sweet 16 theme! It's been two days and I'm still blown away by the enormous difficulty of that task—all the while managing to keep it a secret from (almost) all of us at work for the last four months. Wow.

To make it even better, we raised a big chunk of cash that still needs a full accounting. We'll post some pics, dollar figures, thanks, and thoughts after a good night's sleep.

In the meantime...

A nice short film (7.5 mins) about Record-Rama in Pittsburgh, the world's largest record collection—currently on the block and yours for only $3 million.

If you think that's high, watch the 7.5 minute video!
