PETE PAPHIDES
Pete Paphides is a music journalist, record collector and broadcaster. Catch him on Soho Radio every Tuesday, 12-2pm
One of the lovely things about being known for your hobby - in this case, collecting records - is that people sometimes get in touch and alert you to a collection in need of a loving new home. It might be the inventory of a defunct record shop or a radio station relieving itself of 100,000 records in its archive. Sometimes, photographs do the rounds on social media and people will copy you in to ask, “Got any room for these?”
