i feel lucky to have known tower and its people. tower's demise started long before napster and downloading. the internet itself put the world at one's fingertips, and as for our culture, music became less important.....store inventories dwindled for well over a decade, which was really their lifeblood, and the core customer simply stayed home, or stopped collecting music all together....the good news is that vinyl is now growing faster than any other entertainment software....not because its arguably better, but because its 'nuthin' but fun'.....it has been since i proudly played jan and dean on a g.e. wildcat.
man do I miss Tower records and
Man Do I miss Tower records and most of all their Annex. I would have dinner and after take a walk to their annex where there were thousands of Lps and Cd cutouts, and just so much more for the eyes and ears. I would stay there for hours until closing around 11pm finding so much, and now it's just an empty store. Anyone in NYC know of a place that is open much later then usual or should I just realize that does days are now over.
