“The weirder the person, the better the recording.”

A YouTuber has shared details of the entire record collection he bought from a serial killer.

On October 20, a video was uploaded to the North Carolina-owned Noble Records YouTube channel. record store hosted by a man named Dylan – of the same name.

In the video, Dylan revealed that he purchased a serial killer’s entire record collection several years ago, stating that he chose not to talk about the purchase because he was “a little disturbed by what happened a few years ago and was a little disturbed by it.” “I didn’t feel comfortable making a video on this topic.”

Dylan shared that the collection belongs to Scott Williams, who lives in Monroe, North Carolina. Williams was convicted of murdering three women, which occurred over a nine-year period between 1997 and 2006. He is currently serving three consecutive life sentences without parole at Alexander Prison.

Explaining how he acquired the collection, Dylan said that Noble Records often purchased records, and one day he received a call from a man asking if the store would like to purchase the collection.

“I didn’t hesitate (I said), ‘I definitely want it.’ Because first of all, I like to buy everyone’s record collection… But also, when you buy a record collection, the weirder the person, the better the records. That’s usually the case,” Dylan said.

Dylan said he thought the collection would consist of heavier music and eccentric bands, but discovered that there was only one heavy metal album. Sharing that the collection included albums by Barbra Streisand, The Carpenters and Johnny Cash, the artist said that the strangest part of the collection was that there were six copies of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’.

“It was so normal!” he said. “The only metal record was an Exciter record, I think it was Exciter’s self-titled record. “When it comes to metal, it’s not that weird, it’s not even that exciting,” he added. “It’s stuff you see every day. It’s not rare, it’s not cool.

Dylan shared that he kept an album by the short-lived ’70s band Mama Lion for his personal collection because it was the coolest of them all.
