Biography: Alessandro Benedetti began collecting extraordinary vinyl records in 1981 and now has approx. 8000 pieces, including approx. 1200 colored ones. In 1998, his collection of colored vinyl albums was recognized in the Guinness Book of Records. His dream is to open a record museum so that he can make his collection accessible to the public. The Italian music producer, songwriter and singer Giorgio Moroder has worked with some of the most successful stars in the world, including Donna Summer, David Bowie, Janet Jackson, Barbra Streisand and many others. Moroder is also the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich, where legendary acts like Led Zeppelin, Queen and Elton John recorded their albums. Peter Bastine has worked as a disc jockey, record dealer and concert promoter. From 1977 to 1998 he collected all types of picture discs, then predominantly historical 78rpm made of shellac, plastic and cardboard. His collection today includes around 8000 picture discs and has been the subject of numerous exhibitions in Europe.
