WHAT THEY DO:

The store’s owners, Tammy, and Steve Crosier, who fell in love at a Bruce Springsteen concert, found joy in sharing their passion for music with the community. For the past 35 years, Bogey’s West Music has remained a hub for music lovers and a place where stories of pain, love, and the power of music are shared and cherished. The store specializes in vintage vinyl, offering remastered and reproduced editions of classic albums like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.

Their collection includes both used and new vinyl. The store goes beyond music, offering a range of items such as tapestries, posters, incense, smoking accessories, stickers, jewelry, and even a revival of cassette tapes. Bogey’s West Music continues to cater to a diverse clientele, attracting customers of all ages, from teenagers to baby boomers.

HISTORY:

Bogey’s West Music has a rich history that began with its doors opening on August 8, 1988. The idea to open a record store in Castle Rock, Colorado came from the realization that there was a lack of such stores in the area. Over the years, they have weathered the challenges posed by streaming, downloading, and the rise of digital media. However, their passion for music and dedication to vinyl records kept them going.

She Said It:

"Kids are so stressed out with social media. When they come in here and flip through and smell the vinyl, they leave with a different mindset, a reboot. We have so many teenagers with very, very little theft.
