If You’re Too Young to Remember the Magic of Tower Records, Here’s What You Missed

Imagine if iTunes was an actual store you could wander around in for as long as you liked, with music blaring the whole time. That was Tower.

I loved Tower Records, used to go there all the time.

I bought lots of LPs, stereo cassettes, & even CDs from Tower Records in Washington DC, just a few blocks from where I worked.

First CD I bought was Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers. I still have it.

Tower Records was too far away. We had a Budget Tapes and Records. All that I have left of my 100's of records and tapes is the Rolling Stones Some Girls album. We still have loads of cd's at the cabin but no CD player, lol.

I remember lining up there to buy concert tickets, went to some good ones at Winter land, and Day on the Green in Oakland.
