What’s it like to dedicate your entire life to one thing? Would you find triumph or tragedy? This YouTube video has the answer. Paul Mawhinney has dedicated his life to vinyl.

Mawhinney has the world’s largest record collection. He’s amassed over 3 million albums. It’s a treasure trove of music history. Only an estimated 17% of the records are available on CD today. And some are so rare, Mawhinney owns the only copy.

His life’s work is the impressive collection. Due to health issues he must now sell it all. But in a tragic twist, no one seems to want it. He hasn’t had a single serious offer.
