Take a behind the scenes look at the making of The Dog Strikes Back, Volkswagen's 2012 Big Game commercial.
Paul Mawhinney was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. Over the years he has amassed what has become the world's largest record collection. Due to health issues and a struggling record industry Paul is being forced to sell his collection.
This is the story of a man and his records. I hope you enjoy it.

"only 17% of the music recorded between 1948 and 1966 was released on CD" - this man has the other 83% in his vinyl collection. just think about that...

this man doesn't understand the world of digitizing! the highs and the lows do not get chopped off like he said,they are transformed into light signals that are embedded! an infinite high quality because you don't have the rubbing of the stylus on the record which eventually rubs down and poor quality sound is all you hear!

In digital recording, the analog signal of video or sound is converted into a stream of discrete numbers, representing the changes in chroma and luminance values (video) or air pressure (audio) through time, thus making an abstract template for the original sound or moving image. Beginning in the 1980s, music that was recorded, mixed and mastered digitally was often labelled using the SPARS code to describe which processes were analog and which were digital.

Absolutely amazing put his whole life into this collection, which is worth over $50,000,000.00 and he's asking $3,000,000.00, and can't sell it. It would be very nice if a Musical history buff with the money could take this collection off his hands.
