“It is a treasure hunt. You don’t know what you’re looking through in any particular box there’s always a surprise,” says Sardello.

“About 750,000 records and a couple of hundred thousand posters.”

It’s what Bill Wisener left behind when he died in January 2020.

The Dallas record store owner had a vault of collectibles purchased by two men who once worked for him, the owners of Josey Records.

“It was always a well-known fact that he had multiple storage units just filled with records,” he says, “He kept it very under wraps.”

jesus. epic work to be done.  that's a lot of records. pretty cool they're digging into it all and the finds will have their own section in their record store. 

If that's the same Bill's that I'm thinking it was, that was the only record store I ever found a vinyl copy of Cabaret Voltaire's "Red Mecca" in. That was a great day.

RIP Bill - I loved your store, although I wasn't as much of a fan of no price labels on anything; Bill would quote you a price at the counter based on how much he liked you.
