One of the unique items Neiman Marcus is offering as a holiday gift this year is a huge collection of 45 RPM vinyl records. It is a collection of 18,400 vinyls of hit records dating from Jan. 1. 1955 to Dec. 31, 1990. The price tag is $275,000.
In this age of soulless digital downloads and MP3 mumbo-jumbo, we gleefully turn to that treasured icon of our American pop culture childhood: the 45 RPM vinyl single. We present our exclusive, definitive collection which contains each and every 45 RPM vinyl record that was listed on the Billboard Top 100 Rock and Pop charts from Jan. 1, 1955, through Dec. 31, 1990. Absolutely every disc for 35 years, every No. 100 up to every No. 1. There are some 18,400 records total. There are literally hundreds of extremely collectible 45s - Elvis, Joplin, Hendrix, you name it.
Some might prefer to turn a collection of old vinyls into a artistic wave but I don't think anyone would do that with these 18,000 hit records. ShoppingBlog.com has more about the luxury gifts this year's Christmas Book from Neiman Marcus.
