The World's Best DJ...


...isn't even a DJ! Paul Mawhinney has been a collector of music for over 60 years and by far has one of the largest and best kept music collections of all time, with over 3 million records and 300,000 CDs!! With over 6 million songs to choose from, Paul would blow away any other DJ! Then again, carry around 6 million songs in the analog format of records and discs would require a little more than just the back of a van.

I forgot to mention...Paul is looking to sell his collection!?! What kind of price tag do you put on oh, the entire discography if the 20th century? Well if it was iTunes $6 million would be about the price. Yet more than half of Pauls collection is brand new, and has been kept in a climate controlled 16,000 square foot warehouse. According to Paul's page his estimated value: $50 million. Paul wishes that the new owner keep the entire collection intact and continue to maintain the highest quality of the music.

I hope this dosen't end up on eBay.
