A close relative? http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-31874121Building the world's biggest record collection 16 March 2015 Last updated at 00:06 GMT Zero Freitas has been obsessed with music since he was a little boy growing up in Brazil. Since buying his first record as a teenager, he has steadily built up a collection of vinyl to rival any in the world. Now in his 60s, Freitas owns more than 5 million records, thanks largely to his fortune built operating a bus company in Sao Paulo. He buys discs from all over the world and employs a team to process and catalogue them. Zero's ultimate ambition is to create a vinyl library accessible to the whole world. BBC News went to meet Zero Freitas and find out why he was driven to collect records.

Don't even ask if I'm kidding. That will change when the super deluxe ultimate edition comes out.

I wish I'd bought one of these back in the day when it was a budget CD that was everywhere. I'd ask if Jimbo has it, but I imagine he must...
