I don't know how many I will have, but the space for another five million certainly is available, right  here\". \u003cbr/\u003eFreitas purchased a large chunk of what was believed to be the world's largest record collection, Paul Mawhinney's 3 million plus Reccord-Rama library from the United States. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Library of Congress in the US considered buying the collection, but backed out, and so it was placed on eBay. Freitas purchased about one third of the collection. \u003cbr/\u003eHis precious vinyl stack comes from different sources, in Brazil and abroad. They include many private collections such as American comedian Bob Hope's and important record stores like New York's Time Square Colony Records and Rio's Modern Sound and LA's Music Man Murray's.\u003cbr/\u003eHe would like to see the candle factory become a cultural centre where visitors have access to the collections and can listen to rare recordings. \u003cbr/\u003eBut Brazilian music is his priority. \u003cbr/\u003eAbout once a month Freitas visits S�o Paulo's largest used records store, Eric Discos. \u003cbr/\u003eFreitas has become the city's main record collector and many in S�o Paulo scout for records to sell to Freitas. In a universe counting millions of titles there's always something new to sell to him.\u003cbr/\u003e\"He does a lot of upgrading so he'll buy a record because the cover is a little better, so there'll always be merchandise for him. Again there's always something unusual coming in, something autographed or something\" says Eric Crauford, the store's owner.\u003cbr/\u003eFreitas manages his bus company by day, but vinyl records are his passion. Some of his collection is kept at another warehouse in San Paolo. \u003cbr/\u003eWhile British and American LP's have largely been digitalized, 80% of Brazilian music still remains etched in vinyl. \u003cbr/\u003eThe main emphasis of this collection is Brazilian records, says Valeria Batista who manages the twelve person team dedicated to making sense out of these enormous boxes of records. \u003cbr/\u003eTwelve history students take turns morning and afternoon in the endless task of recording the basic data for each record plus a photograph of the cover. At the current rate of 500 per day the process is expected to take more than twenty years.\u003cbr/\u003eBatista explains, \"There are 250 000 records here approximately which came from Brazilian record collectors and stores and are our classification priority for being mainly Brazilian music\".\u003cbr/\u003eBut the classified rooms are filling up fast: \"Number one began over thee three years ago. This room is already full.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFreitas hopes the students can embark on a musical journey while cataloguing the vinyl. \u003cbr/\u003eHe says, \"The interns they work while listening to music. Each one choses their music and place it on a line. They have different tastes and the idea is they open their minds to accept all kinds of music\".\u003cbr/\u003eOpening each record cover is a musical experience for Freitas. He reminisces over John Lennon's Wedding Album. He says, \"A little of everything. The wedding of John Lennon and Yoko, a very interesting album\". \u003cbr/\u003eFreitas comes to the warehouse once a week, and tells stories from his encyclopedic musical knowledge. Sometimes he gets carried away and exaggerates a bit. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Since they are history students I have them later check my stories and see which part is true and which an enthusiastic invention of mine,\" says Zero Freitas.\u003cbr/\u003eBut very often, after checking out the stories, they are usually correct. \u003cbr/\u003eOne intern, Lucas Benner says \"Last month I was doubtful as to how to catalogue a record. There was a woman on the cover. He told me she killed her ex-husband after divorce. I did some research and she had really murdered him, it wasn't an exaggeration\".\u003cbr/\u003eFreitas picks out a Bossa Nova record by American choreographer and singer Lennie Dale, considered one of the genre's least known pioneers.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This was one of the great names of Bossa Nova, someone who showed a new way to sing a samba,\" he says. \u003cbr/\u003eA new way now preserved by this humble vinyl collector for posterity. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television\u003cbr/\u003eS�o Paulo,  August 2014\u003cbr/\u003e1.
