Music Man Murray sold me many outstanding records in the 80s.I bought Champion Jack Dupree on Green Atlantic (you read that right,Green)Charlie Parker on a Dial 78 for $3.I still pull records to play that have his tape sticker on the back that you couldn't get off with a blowtorch.Went to a sale in Vegas once,nothing left but a ton of Fantasy Twofers.They told me "Music Man Murray was just here and bought everything else".Curse you Murray.He was a bit of a rascal at the Pasadena Record Swap,but who's at their best when they got up at 5 A.M.? I have fond memories of Murray.One of the real characters I have met in the world of Vinyl Addiction.If I drank I'd tip one to you Murray,so instead I'll just play one of LPs with that damn sticker on the back!
The ultimate record collector?
Ever wondered what happened to that huge record collection in Pittsburgh, that couldn't find a home? Well, it all went to Brazil!
