An amazing collection of over 6,000 45 rpm records from the estate of a DJ in Richmond, Surrey, are entered into the Charterhouse specialist auction of Rock, Pop, Film and Entertainment Memorabilia on Wednesday 26th February.
“There is a vast selection of foot-tapping music which just makes you want to get up and dance!” Commented John Snape. “We have seen and sold many record collections over the years, but never one as extensive as this.”
At home, playing to the family with a pint!
The collection spans five decades of music from the 1950’s to the 1990’s. As a teenager in the 1960’s the owner used his pocket money to buy records from the top ten charts. Over the years, he gained an encyclopaedic knowledge of popular music trivia in addition to the 1,000’s of record he bought and played.
From The Beatles to The Clash the collection encompasses all genres of music and is estimated to sell for £1,000 – £2,000 as a single lot.
