I’m back from the big trip and was looking in the spam filters of the website to catch up a bit as some false positives occur, and Peter Glaser sent a comment with something about Sam the Record Man that was tagged as spam. I re-tagged it as not-spam, but the submission that went to the form inbox was entirely stripped out of any text and I didn’t get the chance to read it! All I had was Peter Glaser’s name and an IP address. So Peter Glaser, if you see this, could you please try leaving that comment again?

Greetings, again! Hopefully, this arrives in your inbox. I was simply commending your excellent Sam the Record Man tribute from 2013! I spent countless hours at StRM back in the day but never had the foresight to document it with my camera. I was wondering if you would be willing to share your “the full Sam monty” image in high resolution to me. I am writing a piece on the 1960’s Yonge Street scene for a U.S,-based nonprofit heritage organization. I would love to include this great shot of Sams and credit it however you wish. Best regards and thanks, Peter Glaser

Peter Glaser – Welcome to the comments! You are the only command performance comment in the 15 years of this blog, so thanks for seeing my plea and reacting. Alas, I took that shot in 2001 and back then, 1.3 megapixels on my Fuji FinePix 1300 was a high resolution digital image! What you see [1280×960] on the blog is it, I’m afraid! So it may be possible to take those images from the blog post and enhance them with [swallows a little bile] an AI tool to generate further resolution/detail. Possibly the only moral use of AI I can see from my perspective.

Yonge Street shopping trips were an annual, and sometimes more frequent pilgrimage for me, a Detroit Area record hound 1983-1988. Peter Dunn’s down the block was always good for a few finds in the hunt for back catalog items. Then I moved to San Francisco and a huge crop of vinyl shops were within walking distances. Sam’s Jams (no relation) was the disc temple in Detroit, and Sams in Toronto was the big player everyone went to. The upstairs had the bargains, as I recall, and the great windows over the street. Thanks for the nostalgia!
