It is always hard to start your record collection and can take years to get to get a sizable one. Well not right now, because you can pick up around 4300 pieces of vinyl in one go courtesy of former Haçienda resident and celebrated music writer Dave Haslam who is putting his entire record collection up for sale, taking to Facebook to announce: “Time has come. Vinyl sale. ALL MY VINYL is for sale, but ideally I would like someone to take the whole lot. Approx 4300 records, around 90% 12″ singles, 10% albums. If anyone is interested in buying the collection or can point me towards someone who might, please get in touch.”
Whilst we can only imagine what treasures lie within the Manchester mainstay’s collection – with Haslam having helped define Manchester’s legendary Acid House scene as a key figure at arguably the UK’s most iconic club – we’re certain that someone, somewhere is in for a bargain as they nab a small part of musical history. Take a look at what he’s got on offer below.
