Paramusic Records

Paramusic is the downtown mall indie that has been at it since 1995: 595 Bay Street, Atrium on Bay, ground floor. Official paramusictoronto.com: Monday–Saturday 11 a.m.–6 p.m., Sunday 12 p.m.–6 p.m. (the site types Sunday as 12:00am–6:00pm; treat that as noon). Phone (416) 599-4255. New and used vinyl, CDs, Record Store Day participant. First-timers: this is a mall ground-floor shop, not a Queen West dig. Dundas station. Useful when you are already downtown and do not want to cross the city. Do not confuse it with the old Sam the Record Man Yonge Street ghost — different building, different decade.
