Miniatures #21


Before I started running cinemas my pals and I were avid record collectors. We had our own mail order, traveled around Europe (especially England) to find rare stuff and organized regular exchange markets with collectors coming from all over Germany. Of course, you got to know a lot of people and soon you knew what they were searching for.
One day at one of the markets a fanatic collector of Rolling Stones records came to our booth and asked about something completely different. I helped him out, then asked him about his Stones collecting. "Nope, I'm out of that for good. After 70 live versions of Honky Tonk Woman I realized that I must be out of my mind."
