I always loved "Tower." I have great memories of that place myself at the Burlington , Massachusetts location I shopped at almost every night after work cause Tower was always open!
Great doc too by the way. Check it out won't ya!
Released October 16th in the US.
The story : When Russ Solomon was a young man he worked with his father at his tiny variety store that was at the foot of Tower Theatre in Sacramento.
After some time the store tried its hands at selling records and in no time at all - at an alarming rate.
Russ decided to continue on , selling records without his father.
Russ opened his own store in Sacramento. , naming it Tower Records.
There were no places at that time in the area for young people to go but now there was and they flocked there.
The store did so well that Russ decided to expand with another location and then another.
Every location after the other began doing amazingly well. All with the help of hardworking , dedicated employees and business partners , Russ felt the need to expand outside of the US and that he did.
By the late 70s , Tower Records was doing extraordinarily well.
Then it was on to the East Coast.
But when the music industry began to change and Tower began over-expanding in other parts of the world , it was only a matter of time before bad luck caught up.
