Jerry always loved music, but couldn't play it. His solution? Collecting vinyl. He estimates his collection was over a million pieces at it's peak. #JerrysRecords @PittsburghPG pic.twitter.com/zumzrQKeCR

In his childhood, Jerry borrowed records from Carnegie Library and used his aunt's player to listen. pic.twitter.com/ApqmNUg9ps

In 1976, Jerry opened up his first record shop, Record Graveyard, while he was working as a mailman. #JerrysRecords #dollarpalooza @PittsburghPG pic.twitter.com/naMC9yTtht

There's no rhyme or reason to the set up here. But there's certainly something for everyone. #organizedchaos #JerrysRecords #dollarpalooza @PittsburghPG pic.twitter.com/lLfy6gEbm7

In the early 80s, the store grew and was named Garbage Records. After realizing the name wasn't attracting customers, "Jerry's Records" was born. #dollarpalooza #JerrysRecords @PittsburghPG pic.twitter.com/zESuNSiBpU

Jerry doesn't just have records, a substantial selection of cassettes and CD's can be found at #dollarpalooza too. I have my eye on @StevieNicks 🎤 #JerrysRecords @PittsburghPG pic.twitter.com/WTCzBpVaKV

Like a true music fan, Brandon had a hard time picking one of his favorites. He came here today with an open mind and high hopes of finding a gem to add to his collection. #JerrysRecords #dollarpalooza @PittsburghPG pic.twitter.com/YJZoodu9gO

If you're looking for more opportunities to pick up some new (or old) tunes, Jerry also hinted at selling his music at Rossi's Market, two days a week, in the near future! pic.twitter.com/8xXGIMPEJZ
