Keith Sivyer of London spent a lifetime collecting every top forty single ever released and after his death relatives discovered his house was packed to the rafters. His younger brother Gerald was then left with the daunting task of unloading his late sibling's treasured possessions. He found around 27,000 seven-inch vinyl singles and 8,000 12-inch singles neatly filed in alphabetical order in floor-to-ceiling shelves that covered the four walls of Mr. Sivyer's lounge.
