Jahfin Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 From WYNC's Soundcheck page: Collection of 8-track tapes (JMaz Photo/Josh Mazgelis/flickr) In February, Soundcheck will explore the world of “supercollectors,” people who hoard vinyl records, memorabilia, concert t-shirts and other music-related items. We want you to nominate a friend or loved one who loves to collect music stuff – perhaps to the chagrin of others. (You can also nominate yourself.) We might feature your story when our supercollectors series airs the week of February 13. See what we've received so far. Or, fill out the nomination form on the Soundcheck page.

slave to zep Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 there's one guy that says he collects zep stuff, and that he lost most of it in hurricane katrina, poor guy. but he does say he has managed to get about 70% of it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 How about showing us the hoarders of some these supposed Zep concert films? Just a small taste at least (Houston 77,etc.)!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsmith9095 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Roger Berlin is a Super collector of Zep magazines. His collection is a museum of Zep and deserves to be nominated. I have just nominated Roger's magazine collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Some of you have probably heard of this guy (Paul Mawhinney) before. If not (or even if you have), I think you will enjoy this short presentation from PBS' Online Festival Series called The Archive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope he's able to find a proper home for it. It's a shame that there's been little to no interest in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedcat Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I agree, you would think somebody would make an offer of some kind. The federal government pisses away millions on nothing, I'm surprised the Libary of Congress hasn't stepped up. That's a lot of rare and unique music.

Jahfin Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I really appreciate his passion. I was talking with someone online just the other day about mp3's and Neil Young's stance on them. Their response? I can't really hear a difference between a mp3 and an uncompressed music file so I don't see what all of the fuss is about. Well, I don't really hear a difference either but it doesn't mean there isn't one. By the way, this person is a "musician". It's exactly that type of lackadaisical attitude that will lead to the prevalence of mp3's. Once they become the only format available, then people will be wondering how it ever got that way. I'm not an audiophile but I say more power to people like Neil, Lou Reed and T Bone Burnett who have been pleading with the music industry bigwigs for years about the preservation of music in the highest quality available. Some people may be ok with only hearing 5% of the music when listening to mp3's but I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
