Collecting vinyl records is a huge collectible industry today, but a hundred years ago (1926) this man was the lone pioneer in the hobby and all this from just collecting his own recordings. The photo shows band leader Ben Selvin with his massive collection of 2500 records and his record player. An incredible image from the genesis of an industry, this is from the International News and stamped on the back with a paper caption as well!
