Glasgow's famous Tower Records building up for auction after years lying vacant

The building that used to house the famous Glasgow Tower Records store has been put up for auction - after years spent lying vacant.

The four-storey Venetian-style Argyle Street warehouse no doubt provokes nostalgia for those who used to spend a Saturday afternoon perusing the giant music store for the latest records, while it was also the site of a legendary impromptu 1995 Bon Jovi concert, when the band decided to perform out the windows to thousands gathered on the street below.

At its peak, the chain - famous for its iconic red and yellow sign - had over 200 stores across the globe. However, Tower Records' Glasgow branch closed its doors for the very last time way back in 2002.
