The listing actually reminds me of the weird mish-mashes Capitol and their "Special Markets" label used to do in the 80s for albums like "Golden Harmonies" and "For All Seasons":

Title: Re: New CD Set Post by: HeyJude on June 20, 2017, 08:02:01 AM I don't think the Tower Records website ever went away; somebody bought the name for online use when most of the chain went out of business.
The famous Shibuya high-rise Tower store in Japan is still there as I recall. It's poignantly featured in this documentary: http://www.towerrecordsmovie.com/ Title: Re: New CD Set Post by: Wata on June 21, 2017, 04:19:08 AM Surprised any part of Tower Records exists... They still have a number of shops here in Japan, even though they're decreasing pretty rapidly. |
