Joel Abramson had a unique & varied career with Tower Records. A native New Yorker, he found his calling in the City of the Angels, helped open up Tower Internationally by laying claim to Israel and finished his career at the Corporate Office in Sacramento as Director of Purchasing. Joel talks to us about the cocky (his words) first interview with Bob Delanoy, working in the Sunset store when some mornings there were more rock stars than staff on the sales floor, the trials and tribulations of Tower Israel and why in the last couple years the Tower Product team ordered so many CDs, directed the stores to return them and turned right back around and then ordered the same CDs for the store again.
