A Story-Gram From Vinyl Cafe Inc. (2004) is a two-CD album by Stuart McLean released by Vinyl Cafe Productions.

McLean's The Vinyl Cafe, one of CBC Radio's most popular programs, is a weekly ritual for tens of thousands of Canadians.[citation needed] The show relates the fictional escapades of Dave, eccentric owner of a small record store called The Vinyl Cafe, which lends Stuart music for his show. Dave tells Stuart stories about his life, his friends, and his family: wife Morley and children Stephanie and Sam. Stuart shares these stories with his audience.

The most popular stories tend to be lengthy tales in which Dave's adventures become more and more sidesplitting and out of control, and the collection on this two-CD set are perfect examples,[citation needed] with each of the stories being between 18 and 25 minutes in length. There are over 2 hours of stories in all on this set and, for the first time ever, a bonus video of Stuart performing "I Need to Pee" that can be played on a computer.

Recorded in concert for the CBC Radio show The Vinyl Cafe.
