Maybe it's because I miss posting about Tower Records (oh the bankruptcy drama) that I'm posting about R5. Yesterday I did some searching for some news on R5 Records, the new music store opened by Tower founder Russ Solomon. The Sacramento Bee has nothing, but there is one blog post about the new store.

Song With Orange posted about the store on Saturday and has a few pictures.

"The store itself occupies the location of the original Tower Records at 16th and Broadway in Sacramento, which wasn't large, but it seems they plan to maintain a healthy inventory. The jazz section looked a bit thin, but there were signs throughout the store asking for suggestions of titles to carry, and there were carts of new albums waiting to be shelved, too."
