Buying the World's Vinyl

Take some time to read this fascinating article on Zero Freitas, a Brazilian bus magnate who has oddly made it his life goal to procure as much vinyl as he possibly can. By the age of 30, he had 30,000 records. Now, he has a 25,000 square-foot warehouse and he's buying at an unbelievable rate. Check out this short list of choice cuts from his collection - just a glimpse at the signed and rare pieces he's procured - not because he sought them out specifically but because he buys entire lifetime collections of records whenever he can get them.

Fortunately, there is a tiny silver lining to the story in that he has recently decided to actually catalog and share this massive tomb of music. Who knows when it will be browsable but at least he's trying.
