Commentary:
A couple of months ago, I was contacted by Record Collector Magazine, the UK's longest-running music monthly, about being featured as "The Collector" of the month in a forthcoming issue. I was hugely flattered and happily answered the questions and took photographs of some of my treasures--but I was not convinced it would really happen. Well, sure enough, here I am in the new issue! What an amazing honor!

Inspired by all the attention, I went down to the Birmingham Record Show this weekend and bought a ton of cool records. Yes, I am insane!
