Tower

Tower

Profile:
Tower Records was a record label from 1964 to 1970.

A subsidiary of Capitol Records, Tower often released music by artists who were relatively low profile in comparison to those released on the parent label, including a number of artists--such as Standells, The and Chocolate Watch Band, The --later recognized as "garage bands".
For this reason Tower is often associated with the garage rock phenomenon of the 1960s.

Capitol shut down Tower Records in 1970.
