Paul Holland has seen some upheavals in his life over the past year, but his music collection of vinyl albums and CDs has helped him to get through tough times. It s been massively important, the 35-year-old from Bracknell in Berkshire told the BBC. It s always there, always accessible when you need it. That s why I like having physical copies.
Paul s collection actually straddles two continents at the moment - he has about 100 albums in the UK, but the rest are in Portland, Oregon.
That s because, after living in the US since 2015, he moved back last year, at the height of the pandemic, following the breakdown of his marriage to an American woman.
