I’ve recently been reunited with my vinyl collection. Over 3000 LPs of CanCon-only vintage that I’ve been collecting since around 1980; prior to that I was your average music lover with anything and everything that fell under the guise of popular music – no matter the country.

Back at the turn of the Millennium (which was 14 years ago!) I worked at Sam The Record Man’s flagship store at 347 Yonge Street on the third floor. I was the content editor of their fledgling on-line shopping store. It was my job to review the newest releases coming in from the record labels – most specifically Canadian content. I had been hired to deal with CanCon due to my online presence with the Canadian Pop Music Encyclopedia. It was usually kept to a few dozen albums. It was a dream job.

I don’t remember exactly the first time I heard a compact disc but I imagine it was in the offices of Quality Records on Birchmount Road. I have vague recollections of a boardroom meeting where we saw and heard what the compact disc was all about. I was easily impressed. We were told the sound was pristine, they would last forever and they would never skip. Ultimately none of this was true but it still felt like a giant leap in to the future.
