Not to be too technical, but sound waves don't look like water waves hitting a beach. So the pun kinda fails.

Also, vinyl is most definitely not obsolete. The "waves" of technology just provide more convenient options as far as portability.

Finally, my main beef with this concept being actualized is that it trivializes the music that is on those records. I guess, heck, if any were music people like, I coulda used'em!

Peace.

I'd think maybe Ripley's would want it for the craziness of its size. If indeed the desireability of the majority of the recordings is low, then looking for a collector interested in the content is not the way to go. Most of the recordings probably are already in the Library of Congress. The impressiveness is simply the scale of the collection.

I'm finding with my art that people who want content, want content they want, not just a huge amount. Size perhaps doesn't matter here.

Peace.
