When Sam Weiss founded SAM Records in Long Island City, New York in 1976, he was something of a veteran of the music industry.

He’d been involved in the music industry since the late forties, when he and his brother Hy founded Parody Records. Although the company wasn’t a commercial success, and soon folded, the Weiss brothers persevered. Eight years later, in 1954, they founded Madison Records, which was primarily a vehicle for releasing R&B records. Soon, Madison was releasing soul, doo wop, pop, rock, soul and gospel. Madison continued right through until the late seventies. By then, Sam Weiss had founded another record label, Sam Records, which he specifically setup to cash in on disco’s popularity.

Having founded SAM Records in 1976, the nascent label released it’s first release the same year. Doris Troy’s Woman and The Ghetto was SAM Records’ first release, although John Davis and The Monster Orchestra’s Night and Day gave the label its first hit single, reaching the top five in the US. The following year, SAM Records would release their first twelve inch single, after Tom Moulton had inadvertently invented it. John Davis and The Monster Orchestra’s I Can’t Stop had the honor of being SAM Records’ first twelve inch single.

Then came one of Sam Records’ best known tracks in 1979, Gary’s Gangs Keep On Dancing.

However, the twelve-inch versions of these singles weren’t released on SAM. Instead, between 1978-1980 Sam Weiss decided to license the tracks to Columbia. Vengeance Essential Dubstep Vol. 2 - Sample Pack Torrent.

Similarly, Gary’s Gang found commercial success with Let’s Lovedance Tonight and Do Ya Wanna Go Dancin’? Once the deal with Columbia ended, twelve-inch singles were released on SAM Records again.
