The Collection
The inaugural collection was generously donated by John King, co-founder of Ardent Records and longtime Memphis music promoter who famously broke iconic Memphis rock band Big Star. His gift of 30,000 45rpm singles, 10,000 LPs, 20,000 CDs, and over 1,000 unique pieces of musical history represents a lifetime of collecting and an incredibly wide spectrum of musical genres, all of which are free to the public for listening and learning enjoyment.
The Production Studio
Usage of the Production Studio is free but by appointment only.
