Tower Records


This just crossed my radar. Founder Russ Soloman has passed at 92. A great lover of Music and the mastermind behind the Tower Records empire. R.I.P.

I have to give a shout to the late, great Tower Records on South Street in Philly. Bought many CDs there with friends on Saturday nights, and it was just the place to be.
I would drive from San Jose up to San Francisco in the late-60's/early-70's just to go to the Tower store in North Beach. Lots of British pressings of current LP's.
I bought many CD's at the Stamford, CT Tower! They carried an amazing collection of silver discs: everything from classical to jazz and rock! Tower will be missed! I personally like going to a store for music shopping!
There was recently a documentary on cable about Tower records, mostly about the California stores and Russ's management style. How they opened their Tokyo store was very interesting. 

Ok - I found it.
