The Tower Records store in Dublin is still there! They moved from Wicklow Street earlier this summer to a new location at 7 Dawson Street. I was in there a few months ago and it's a great store with a huge new vinyl section upstairs! However, the soundtrack section is not as good as it was back in the early 90s, what a wonderful selection they had back then.

Really? Bigger, wish I'd known that... I've been in Dublin lads of times over the last couple of years both for business and pleasure (love the place, love the people) so I'd have checked it out if I'd known.
Hello Mike J,
Overall I'd say the floor space in Tower Records, Dawson Street may be a little bit less than the old store in Wicklow Street, I may be wrong, it's hard to judge the way it's all set out in different rooms, levels, etc, but definitely there is a lot more floor and shelf space devoted to Vinyl LPs! The HMV shop is also opened again on Grafton Street (smaller) and as far as I know HMV also still have the shop on Henry Street.

Tower was a dream destination for me. Living in a small southern US town, the usual major label releases were easy to find, and most but not all Varese CDs could be tracked down.
So when I first visited my aunt in Los Angeles back in the mid to late 80's, the first full day in L.A. our first stop was Tower Records. So many soundtracks! Not only the usual suspects, but the small labels, the imports, seeing all the albums that were listed in the SAE or STAR paper catalogs, plus, seeing Film Score Monthly right there in the magazine section, bliss !
My first Tower purchases : Moon 44 and the Edel expanded Masters Of The Universe. Just pouring over the soundtrack section was a major high.
As I remember, back then there was the main Tower location on Sunset, but also another store - also on Sunset maybe? - but a more modern building that seemed to be in an office or retail plaza ?
And my last trip Out There in 2008 I made sure to shop at the Hollywood Blvd store, seemed to be not long before it closed.
