Record-Rama
Record-Rama was the name of a record and CD store in Pittsburgh. It was founded by Paul Mawhinney, who claimed he built the world's biggest record collection.
== Beginnings ==
Record-Rama was founded by Paul Mawhinney, himself a collector of vinyl records, and a significant help in restarting David Bowie's career by getting fellow Pittsburgher and RCA boss Tom Cossie to re-release the album ''Space Oddity'' in 1972 after its initial release in 1969 failed to hit.〔(David Bowie Story ). Retrieved 2009-10-19. 〕 Mawhinney started the shop after his personal collection reached the many thousands. It was his wife who told him to get rid of the records, or start up a business around them. By the mid-1990s, Record-Rama was doing $5 million ($ million today) a year of business. In the years that followed, Mawhinney built the world's biggest record collection. He also cataloged records in a directory he released called the ''MusicMaster''.〔 The first edition was released in 1982, and it came in two volumes; one listing by artist, the other by title.〔(Record-Rama Archives ) blog on Blogger. Retrieved 2009-10-19. 〕 By 2003, the business had dropped to $500,000 a year, one tenth of what it had been. Mawhinney cites big chain stores like Wal-Mart undercutting his prices as the main factor in the drop of sales.〔
