Wish John Lennon and Tower were both still around.
Very cool, I am on the billboard at 00:12, I did an instore that week for my new release, "Renaissance In Formation". Very cool, introduced by John Lennon (RIP). Just stumbled across this looking up The Beatles and Tower Records. I have a photo beneath the marquis, too! Was just looking at it! My bass player and guitarist on my last album, "Tribute For Salvation" recently recorded on Ringo's last phenomenal album! Beatles are one of my major influences. I recorded a Reggae Oboe Version of "Girl" on my last album. Thanks for sharing this. I miss Tower Records in West Hollywood, CA. Todd Meehan was the Manager for the In-Stores back then. Roseanne Cash and Yma Sumac both performed around the same week I did. Apprecialove
The audio is taken from his in studio radio appearance on KHJ Los Angeles 1974 while promoting Walls N Bridges.
What a charming commercial. Makes me want to go there!
One of my favorite hang outs an I have bought numerous things from there. No thanks to technology, it is sadly now, only a part of history. John, Elton an many other celebrities use to shop there
Very Cool! I remember when he did a promo for WBCN Boston in 1978.
Went there many times before it's demise. It was a good place with a great selection.
im happy tower is back
It's weird because we can see Mccartney's album at 0:26
for 3.33
This is Incredible!! Thank you for this POST!!!!!
Bought many records there. I miss the old Hollywood
Wow! What a voice he had and what a find so thanks so much for this! I bought many a record ❤🎉from Towers records.
I loved that store.
My favorite store was at the corner of Broadway and South Land Park Drive. It had a more intimate feel to it.
"it is a good place"
well, if John says so^
I loved the painted key art of the LPs that adorned the outside windows! But what a weird curve off the street into the parking lot - and hoping you could get in and out of traffic safely.
Cool!
commercial from 1973 with posters outside the store for Prince and Mary J. Blige.
It was a radio commercial, someone has just used archive footage for CZcams.
cool video
As long as you didn't work there.
And the title card (hand labeled divider card) at 0:46
And McCartney too, for all intents and purposes.
Why is there a fake photo of Lennon at the beginning of this video?Why not use a photo of the real guy,there are plenty out there?Other than that,nice vintage video,tks!
The photo at :03 is Lennon
That doesn't look like him.
Hehe! Something tells me he had his tongue firmly in his cheek!
Haha and the customer passes on it..
yeah now were stuck with fucking Streetlight.
It's not a good place. It's a place.
John was wrong. Sorry John sorry better try it again try it again. John's got a sausage yea man.
