its all a bunch of bullshit hype.

Allow me to enlighten........
The first ever Tower was indeed just a record store hence the name Tower Records. The reason they never changed the name since is simply because it has a familiar ring to it.
But when I once asked a Tower CEO why the name if mostly CD's? his reply was ....
"Once something is recorded, there is then a record of it right?".
As lame as his reply sounds I can't disagree with him.
Therefore Tower Records will always be an applicable name regardless of how many CD's or DVD's they sell. Also it should be noted that each Tower is different and the one in my town still carries vinyl and in fact has never stopped since the 70's.
Also note that records are the first and oldest medium dating back to the early 1900's. Emile Berliner pioneered the first "vinyl" pressings that were often just referred to as "discs". Nobody really called them records until there was actaully a record of something contained on it.
In actuality a record store that sold strictly records could still have the word "DISC" in their name and not be false advertising. Same as Tower having "records" in their name. Get it?
So therefore technically it really doesn't matter what a damn store is called.
Peace,

good bye to vinyl??? r u mad???
They alwats say that..if i told u the amount of vinyl my label sells over here its ridiculous...however due to CD's & mp3 and stuff like that i have seen a decline in the purchasing of vinyl from are normal average joe. its more a specialist market now. Dj's, producers and collectors. so really the price will go up the less the demand. which is not right but its life.

but I mean, they did kill the A-Trak, and in way 7" 45's are dead, too.
The consumer seems to be moving faster and faster these days, but once the industry gets a grip on these new formats we're seeing, mostly computer-based, then it theoretically could happen
jus hopefully when I'm dead and buried.
