Extraordinary Records
Italian record producer, songwriter, and performer Giorgio Moroder has worked with some of the world's most successful recording stars, including Donna Summer, David Bowie, Janet Jackson, and Barbara Streisand, among many others. Moroder is also the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich, where legendary acts from Led Zeppelin and Queen to Elton John recorded. Alessandro Benedetti has built up a personal collection of records that includes about 8,000 discs of various types. In 1981 he started collecting colored vinyl records and in 1998 his collection of colored vinyl won recognition in The Guinness Book of Records. The collection now includes about 1,200 colored vinyl discs. Alessandro has appeared on several TV talk shows, and his records were featured in an exhibition in 1999. His dream is to open a record museum so he can share his collection with the public.
