The iconic guitarist passed away in January 2023 at the age of 73, and now his extensive archive of vinyl records is being made available to the public, offering fans a glimpse into the music taste of the trailblazing New York band.
The first batch of records became available through Discogs on Friday (June 26), with further titles set to be sold in person at Academy Records’ Banker Street location in Brooklyn on July 10 and 11.
Any remaining records will then return to Discogs on July 31. Purchases made through Discogs will include a certificate of authenticity confirming that the record came from Verlaine’s personal collection. Check out the collection here.
The collection spans jazz, avant-garde, garage rock, psychedelia and experimental, and includes Verlaine’s personal copies of Television’s debut single ‘Little Johnny Jewel’ and their landmark 1977 debut album ‘Marquee Moon’, alongside records by The 13th Floor Elevators, Nico, Albert Ayler, The Sonics, Love and Slint.
“What’s interesting to me about Verlaine’s collection is how much more of an X-ray it is than a mirror image,” Academy Records co-owner Cory Feierman said in a statement.
