Val Shively has collected and sold records for decades. He is a world-famous music afficianado, and people make appointments from all over the globe to get a look into his back room vinyl vault! His name is a landmark among record snobs, and for more than 40 years his legendary collection of 45s has been the topic of nerdy gossip worldwide.

And for damn good reason. Shively’s store boasts a phenomenal collection of an unbelievable four MILLION 45s. As can well be imagined, he has pretty much everything in there somewhere. And what’s even more incredible, is that he doesn’t have a computer. His overwhelming catalog is stored only in his own head. He has virtually every hit, and more importantly, every “miss” ever put on wax. Ask him for a particularly obscure title, and not only can he tell you if he has it, but he knows exactly where it is within his towering library.

But don’t just show up hoping to flip through all those records. Val much prefers that you arrive with an idea of what you’re looking for in hand already. And calling ahead may not be such a bad idea either…
