I started record collecting
when I was 15 or 16 years old.
:10:07
I started getting interested in jazz.
:10:10
Prior to that, I collected comic books.
:10:13
I was always a collector.
:10:18
I admit to having
an obsessive-compulsive quality in me.
:10:25
It's like The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
or something.
:10:27
You go to thrift shops
and you go to the garage sales...
:10:30
because you think you're gonna find
something that's real rare.
:10:34
And most of time, it's a total waste of time,
but once in a while...
:10:39
you'll come up with something
that'll whet your appetite.
:10:52
In the early '60s...
:10:53
I was with some buddies at a junk sale,
looking for some choice sides...
:10:56
when I met this shy, retiring cat
from Philadelphia named Bob Crumb.
:11:00
You know the guy.
:11:01
Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural and all.
They made a movie about him, too.
:11:08
Jay McShann.
:11:15
Come on, Harv, you gonna buy that,
or what?
:11:17
I don't know, Marty,
it's got a lamination crack.
:11:20
A quarter.
:11:23
Maybe I could talk it down.
:11:26
- You are one cheap bastard, Harvey.
- I know I'm tight, man.
:11:29
I live on a government wage.
:11:32
You collect Jay McShann, man?
:11:35
- Yeah, man, how about you?
- Yeah.
:11:37
But most of my records are back in Philly.
:11:40
Harvey, meet my buddy, Bob Crumb.
He just moved to town.
:11:43
He's an artist
with the American Greeting Card Company.
:11:46
You should see his comics, Harv.
They're out of sight.
:11:51
I'm into comics myself.
