RNZ: The Panel – What Makes Collectors Tick?

Usually when I’m on RNZ it’s to review albums – sometimes a concert or a feature. But the other week I got another call-up to have a wee crack on the Panel (w/ Wallace Chapman).

They were talking about collecting and collectors. And there was a news story about a TradeMe auction for clearance stock from Real Groovy’s sale-store. The bulk lot of several thousand records went for about $800.

Here’s my wee ramble when they called me up to have a word on the Panel.

I can tick off talking to Paula Penfold on my life-goals list. I think she’s a legend!
