Tower Records

Tower Records is a US based company founded by Russia Solomon in 1960.

The establishment of Tower originated from a company he founded in his teens, reselling 78 RPM jukebox records at his father's pharmacy in Sacramento, which later developed into a record supermarket and changed our connection with music in the pre digital age. From the 1960s to the 1990s, Tower was a leading music retailer, an oasis at the intersection of music, art, and culture, renowned for its large number and knowledgeable audiophile staff. Tower is an iconic sanctuary for music exploration, with its powerful visual code and community philosophy igniting a sense of identity for generation after generation with the slogan 'Without music, there is no life'. At its peak, Tower had grown to over 200 stores in 20 states and 18 countries/regions, with annual sales exceeding $1 billion. This is a global brand with a clear and compelling vision.

Tower Records has adopted a novel and innovative management attitude, adopting a 'local first' approach that enables stores to operate with an independent spirit, thereby keeping up with the pulse of the music and cultural zeitgeist. After entering the Tower Records store, visitors will be welcomed by knowledgeable enthusiasts, with the latest albums piled up near the front door. There are thousands of albums in the long aisle, covering all imaginable music genres. This store stays open late and has become a nighttime gathering place for thousands of music enthusiasts who stop to buy a few things at night: Towers on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles and Broadway in Greenwich Village, New York are landmarks themselves. These stores have attracted many loyal fans of celebrities. Bruce Springsteen and Dave Groll are regulars here, while Elton John is Tower's most famous customer.

Tower continues to define the blueprint for music experience, integrating innovation, tradition, and experimentation. This is a space for unique individuals passionate about sound to connect, discover, and consume music. The original source of curation and professional knowledge.
