Britain’s biggest Elvis auction is due to take place this summer, after a superfan decided to sell his record collection. Pub landlord Steve Lacey, 44, began his obsession with the King when he was just 11, after he heard the singing legend’s death announced on the radio. He went on to amass the UK’s largest collection of Elvis records, an astonishing 12,000 discs from around the world.
Steve said: “I’m a fan of all types of music but I got hooked on Elvis as a child. I started spending my pocket money and cash I earned on my paper-round on Elvis records, and it snowballed from there. We’ve gone without holidays abroad and fancy cars to invest in the collection, but the time has come to sell up.” Experts reckon Steve’s incredible selection of recordings will fetch around £250,000 (€300,000) when they are auctioned at Bamford’s in Derby on 4 July. The prize lot is a complete set of 78 singles from Elvis’s time at Sun Records, which are estimated to go under the hammer for up to £10,000 (€12,000).

Bij deze een deel van mijn platenverzameling, zon 15,000 elpees en singles en daar komen wekelijks NIEUWE platen bij. Ik ben een vrouwelijke dj en reis nog steeds Europa rond met mijn platentassen.
Of zoals de bio zegt: “Buying (loads of) records since 1977 I ‘survived’ punk, postpunk, techno, reggae, indie guitar, drum ‘n’ bass, neue Deutsche Welle, breakcore, grime, hip hop, industrial, minimal, dubstep, dancehall, world music et cetera and there is no doubt that I will easily cope with any future trends. As Scout Niblett sings in her version of ‘Uptown Top Ranking’, the last track on my album and often the last track of my gigs: ‘I got no style, I’m strictly roots’.”
groet,
