What about Peaches Records and Tapes?


While I generally liked All Things Must Pass, they completely ignored other large stores like Peaches. That place also had an "interesting" culture, expanded to a number of other cities, and eventually crashed and burned (but way earlier, around 1981).

I thought that's what's in the old Tower Records location now in New Orleans. Or did they just borrow the name?

Well, Gluey, I'll tell you why they completely ignored other large stores like Peaches: because it's a documentary about Tower Records, and not a documentary about other large stores like Peaches. Did you also hate Star Wars because they completely ignored Battlestar Galactica?

LMAO

They never mentioned the small record store in Libertyville, Illinois on Milwaukee Avenue I used to go to in the 70s.

The movie is about Tower Records, and Tower Records only. You can look and there are other documentaries on vinyl and on record stores. It might be an idea to crowdfund a doc on Peaches. We didn't have Tower where I grew up, but we had Peaches.
