Tower Records liquidated after Chapter 11 Auction

_damnit_ writes: After over 40 years of selling records, 8-tracks, cassettes, CDs, movies and magazines Tower Records was sold to a liquidator who will commence selling assets. The Sunset Blvd store in Hollywood will disappear leaving a gaping hole in the fabric of LA music as I remember it. Tower was known for a deep selection of music including separate Classical sections. They will be missed as music sales increasingly move online and to big box retailers.
