JACEK LEŚNIEWSKI (owner of Megadisc - that is, the undersigned) in the British magazine RECORD COLLECTOR!

I'm very proud to boast to everyone (yes!) that 3 pages of "The Collector" column in the latest issue (Christmas 2014 - with The Beatles on the cover) of the cult and probably the most important magazine in the world, Britain's Record Collector - called by many 'the record collectors' Bible' - have been devoted to my humble self! In the interview I talk about my vinyl collection, which I have been building for 22 years, about how it began, about my favourite titles and, finally, about the rarest items in my vinyl collection. I must stress that although I always follow "The Collector" column, I can't remember anyone ever getting 3 full pages! Previous guests include Lee Dorian (vocalist of Cathedral and owner of the Rise Above label) and the famous rock photographer Ross Halfin (Iron Maiden and Metallica among others, and now Jimmy Page's personal photographer), and both gentlemen had to fit their vinyl rarities onto 2 pages :-) Anyway, I'm very pleased that someone "over there" has appreciated me, as I got into the column on the recommendation of Brian - an 'old hippie' living in Poland and a British contributor to Record Collector. Oh, and I didn't pay him anything, really... I must admit that the scans I sent to the RC editors were liked so much that instead of the usual 12 covers I was "allowed" to include more than 50! Or maybe it was decided by the fact that the editor in charge of the column is also a fan of Slough Feg??!! A bit unlikely, isn't it? But Slough Feg rule... And it certainly helped that I bribed him with copies of the 'Made In Poland' CD/LP I released! But seriously... It's great that the British, the French and the Germans can now see that 'a Pole can' collect records too... That he isn't just doomed to poorly paid work in London or Dublin, but can also buy up the coolest rarities from under their noses, in some cases almost part of their national heritage (e.g. original pressings of The Beatles or The Rolling Stones from the 60s, right?), which will never return to them (I hope! Of course I'm joking a bit, but I think there is some truth in it! Best wishes! JACEK LEŚNIEWSKI.
