It seems that one of Europe's largest 45 collections is about to be culled. Radio France are clearing out a whole load of old 45's from their record library .........
Lots of their 1.5 million discs will start to go on sale in Paris in mid June. 5000 will be up for auction on the 1st day, bet loads of dealers will be involved. They have no idea how many records make up the collection, they weigh it (4 tons in total) to gauge how many they have.
Watch the video on the above web piece to get an inkling of the stuff they have (lots of rare -- cut in France -- jazz things).
