Launched in 1960, Tower Records has been a retail powerhouse with just two hundred stores, on five continents, in thirty countries. From humble beginnings in a pharmacy, Tower Records eventually became a powerful force within the audio market and soul of the audio environment, and the core. Back in 1999, $ 1billion was made by Tower Records. In 2006, the firm filed for bankruptcy. What went wrong? Everybody else thinks they understand what killed Tower Records: The net. But that is not the story. Everything Must Pass is tragic death, really a feature documentary film examining the explosive trajectory of this company, and heritage forged with its creator.
