The condition is immaculate and the amount of ephemera included is mind-blowing. There are more promos and press kits in these 17,000-plus records than we&#8217;ve ever seen before in one collection. The personalized notes from some of the people that sent these records to Mikal are beautifully heartwarming too. Mikal took great care of his records and we&#8217;re honored to help find them new homes.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The personal music collection of
