You Canadians are really fond of beavers, aren't you?

Harmonica is such an underrated instrument.

I want to have one.

And play with it.

It's great having a harmonica,you can always play with yourself.

An album I own and bought from when it was first issued. Purchased at Sam the Record Man -- a place that I helped finance through my massive discretionary spending.

That was like in the early 70's? I inherited many from my older brother,that album as well. I remember Sam's but no idea where they were located and what happened to them,guess you should have purchased more Rock en Stock I recall clearly as I'd go in and laugh at the prices they charged for importsYou recall what went out of business first?

Surprised my SO taking her to see Andre in Maastricht a few years ago,told her we were going to a concert and she expected some headbanging club or grungy venue,she's a huge classical buff but into death metal as well. If you like classical music,he always is entertaining indoor or outdoor.

Sam’s was on St. Catherine and was the go to place for records at the time. Imports had outrageous prices, something like $20 plus, which was a lot of money in the 70s.

Don’t know what Rock en Stock is.

Pretty sure that's what it was called,beside Chez Paris if not mistaken. Was know for almost exclusively selling imports. Someone must know for sure,help clear the fog,maybe @peate knows?

For whoever is into hip hop rap..
Joyner Lucas dropped a track tribute to his mentor Will Smith...if you understand the references, it's really masterful:


And a few days ago Will Smith responded showing he can still drop some sick rhymes

What are the music retailers in Quebec?

PS: I know only Archambault/Renaud Bray

It's a name I heard before but I don't think I've ever been there. My go to record store was Discorama in Alexis Nihon (close to NDG). Sometimes Archambault if I was in the area. Never went to Sam's all that much either. A lot of my records came from my brother who worked for Trans-Canada Records in TMR. Sometimes, if we were lucky, we'd get albums before they hit the stores.

Appreciate that,thanks,the search continues.

Still have the vinyl albums? Get anything noteworthy from Trans-Canada?

Got rid of them when I moved to BC, was time for CD's. Oh I still have Dave Mason's fancy swirly LP hanging on the wall. Unplayable from scratches and dust.

My other brother, the beer guy, has some of my old LP's I think. I got Rubber Soul in mono, 1 week before it hit the stores. That was a big deal. Mostly Québecois records were plentiful through them. I'd get a lot of leftovers that my brother would get and didn't like, Cream and Hendrix to name a few, although today he likes them. Go figure.

Someday we should all have a party in Montreal, I would really shock you all then lol. I have been a metalhead for the last 30 years, I am not as familiar with the newer stuff but Maiden, Priest and many of the 80s hair bands are still my favs. This tune would be playing in my dressing room if I was the habs coach lol.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

One of the best live bands I’ve ever seen

I bet you had this on cassette, I wore mine out

Another 80's metal band that I really loved was this group from Tampa Florida, they should have been much more famous than they were. Killer band!

It was a real shame how things spiraled down to the point that it did.
