The Toronto Star recently published a great article by Nick Krewen which looks at a new documentary about vinyl store Play De Record, and its own Eugene Tam. Drop the Needle premiered to a sold-out crowd at the Hot Docs Cinema this part Saturday, and a second screening is scheduled for Nov. 6.
“In the 1990s, the Yonge Street strip between Gould and Elm was Record Store Central. There were the two multi-storey retailers that everyone knew about — Sam the Record Man and A&A — that sat practically next door to each other, while Cheapies and Sunrise Records were located within spitting distance across the street. If you wanted the latest popular hits from the major record labels, they were the places to go.”
