Tower Sale!

I'm sure many of you are aware of this but Tower (both retail and on line) are having a sale through Monday starting today .

Please don't kill the messenger

It's about time Tower has not been earning the brownie points with me lately. The quality and quantity of the stock at the local Tower stores has been wearing thin.

I went to Tower.com, and the only sale I saw that might contain Jazz titles was one of those "thousands of titles for 9.99" deal...but none of the titles I was interested in, or labels for that matter were marked down. Maybe I'll just have to look into this "sale" a bit closer.

Not sure how known it is outside the home office area of Sacramento, but Tower has been in dire financial straits for the past few years (see: Tower Woes).

Our local stores have really had poor inventory lately, and at least the one in Land Park just cut back on their open hours - for years they opened at 9, but to my surprise I found the door locked and new hours posted (open at 10 AM) last weekend. Anyway, not to apologize for Tower or anything, 'cause I agree with the criticisms, but there are some unfortunate reasons they are scaling back I think.

Thanks to this sale, I got Shorter's "Schizophrenia" and Hancock's "The Prisoner," both of which I'd been kind of meaning to pick up for a long time (especially the Shorter).

Not sure if anyone knows it but Tower is having a Blue Note sale through September 22nd.

All RVG's $9.99. Certainly doesn't beat the old prices of $8.99 or $7.99 but nice nonetheless.
