In Reply to: Tower Records Store Closing Sale in Chicago posted by Deacon Blues on October 16, 2006 at 12:12:10:
that's exactly what it read like to me. Yeah they were overpriced and their stores were sometimes crowded (with merchandise) and you had to put up with listening to Bell Biv Devoe at too many decibels but damn it was cool to spend an hour or two cruising the bins and finding something interesting to listen to. Didn't have Tower in my berg so it was always a treat to find one in my travels. The only bricks and mortar store with more back catalog jazz was/is J&R Music in NYC.It's the end of an era. RIP Tower Records.
