How awesome would it be to have those decks at your next party? My mom shopped at Sam the Record Man as a girl-- she hearly wept when she heard that it would be closing, as it's a focal point of her rock 'n' roll teenage memories.

It's very sad. I used to spend nearly every summer weekend in Toronto as a teen and Sams was always a stop on the trip.

Man, that's depressing. Sam's is (soon to be "was") awesome.
