Sam the Record Man was a Canadian record store chain that, at one time, was Canada's largest music recording retailer. In 1982, its ads proclaimed that it had "140 locations, coast to coast". Its iconic flagship store was located at 259 Yonge Street in 1959 and moved to 347 Yonge Street two years later, remaining there from 1961 until it closed in 2007. Located at Yonge just north of Dundas, the store became part of a strip of music stores, nightclubs and taverns featuring live performance that produced the "Toronto Sound" and was the centre of Toronto's music scene in the 1960s.

(en) Sam the Record Man était une chaîne canadienne de magasins de disques qui, à une certaine époque, était le plus grand détaillant de disques au Canada. En 1982, ses publicités proclamaient qu'il y avait "140 emplacements, d'un océan à l'autre". L'ère de l'information, la concurrence avec la chaîne HMV et d'autres facteurs ont forcé Sam the Record Man à la faillite en 2001, mais son magasin phare est resté en activité jusqu'en 2007. Un magasin franchisé indépendant, à Belleville, en Ontario, continue de porter le nom de Sam the Record. (fr)
