    I think your record is in here..... somewhere......

    Holy Crap!

      What you’re looking at isn’t a hoarder’s home, but a neglected record warehouse photographed by Frédéric Thiphagne back in 2009. Thiphagne was sworn to secrecy as to the warehouse’s location in order to take these jaw-dropping shots. Unfortunately, the warehouse and its contents were destroyed two weeks after the photos were taken. Bummer. Thiphagne writes on his blog: “Those pictures, which are the only one existing from that place, should be seen as the illustration of that dream, of the biggest fantasy of every record digger.” Indeed. Why were all of these beautiful pop culture artifacts just destroyed?         See more amazing photographs at Thisphagne’s blog Les Mains Noires.

      Apollo Music purchased a small home a little over a year ago with at least 250,000 records inside of it. There’s no backstory on their website about the previous owner or what they plan to do with the home after all the vinyl has been removed. Probably just sell it, I guess? Apparently these photos were taken partway through the clean-out (when Apollo first got there they couldn’t even enter the doorways). It took over 6 months to remove and pack all the vinyl from the home. I can only imagine the floors in the home must be warped from the weight of all those records! You can see more photos at Apollo.         Via KMFW

    Whaaaa? And then they just destroyed the warehouse instead of letting us come in a "clean up" for them?

    Some funny comments on those.

                ... and it IS a wonderful walk-in closet! Just not for useless junk like clothes.
