Tom sent me this Jamaican Gleaner story about Dextor Campbell, who’s record collection is one of the largest in the world.
Affectionately referred to as ‘The Ska Professor’ from his days as a sound system selector specialising in ska music, Campbell says his collection is valued at over $15 million.
“Right now mi have 20,000 albums and 15,000 seven-inch (45s) and mi know mi can safely get roughly $15 million for my collection without a doubt,” Campbell said.
But when he started collecting vinyl music it was not with the intention to one day become one of the largest collectors of his time. Instead, it was all for the love of the music.
