Thousands of vinyl records and equipment from the BBC archive are to be sold at auction this month.
The online auction is being organized by Omega Auctions, who have been granted access to the BBC archives.
The list includes rare vinyls, equipment and memorabilia of the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Omega Auctions clarified in a post on Twitter: “This does not constitute the entire BBC vinyl archive, which is still intact. These are largely double copies of LPs – so that the collection can be moved and stored better for the future.”
BBC Collection Sale is live!
We spent a productive few days in London late last year clearing out many (many) 000s of LPs from the BBC’s archive at Perivale.
Auction #1 takes place on 30th January – 9am.
