The rise and fall of Tower Records

Soundly constructed, briskly paced and, in the end, affectingly wistful. – Variety

Filmmaker Colin Hanks spent seven years working on this nostalgic tale of the rise and fall of the once-behemoth Tower Records—which started in the back of a Sacramento family drugstore and became an international retail powerhouse before it collapsed in 2006. It’s an affectionate documentary tribute filled with memorable moments you’ll enjoy, even if you’ve never bought music in a store. Featuring Chuck D, Dave Grohl, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, David Geffen and more.

ALL THINGS MUST PASS (Colin Hanks, 2015 / 94 mins) | Established in 1960, Tower Records was once a retail powerhouse with two hundred stores, in thirty countries, on five continents. From humble beginnings in a small-town drugstore, Tower Records eventually became the heart and soul of the music world, and a powerful force in the music industry. In 1999, Tower Records made $1 billion. In 2006, the company filed for bankruptcy. What went wrong? Everyone thinks they know what killed Tower Records: The Internet. But that’s not the story. This is a feature documentary film examining this iconic company’s explosive trajectory, tragic demise, and legacy forged by its rebellious founder Russ Solomon.
