Of course not.

A one-time purchase of something doesn't give you a "lifetime" right to it. As long as you can "posess" it, you can use it. If you sell the record collection, or otherwise have no posession of it, you're just out of luck.

US courts disagree with you when it comes to Audio/Video material. Court decisions have stated that anyone has THE RIGHT to one backup copy for their own personal use.
