His record collection is quite impressive. Many albums and singles by many favorites of mine are listed. If I didn't already have so many of them in my own record collection, I'd probably place a bid on the lot.
The ABB interview and press kit - four audio cassette tape recordings of interviews - looks an interesting lot.
I wonder if the folks at the Big House are aware of the sale.
Interesting to see what the various items from the collection sold for. A good bit of the Bob Dylan material went for way more than the estimated high-end. Same for some Doors items. His record collection sold for 3k more than I thought it probably would.

Looks like most of them were purchased by one anonymous buyer.
