History
Established in 1974.
Boo Boo Records has been in business for over forty years in San Luis Obispo County. Boo Boo’s founding partners, Ed Taylor and Glenn Forbes, met almost accidentally in 1974 through their wives’ high school friendship. Taylor and Forbes worked the local swap meets for the next four months. They sold used records and collectible items. Then, in December of 1974, they decided to open a retail store to sell their used records, their wives’ artwork, and collectibles. In 1978, Mike White became the manager of the San Luis Obispo store. His passion and organization streamlined the work started by Taylor and Forbes. In 1986, Mike White was invited to become an active managing partner in Boo Boo Records. Seven years later, another former employee, John Huffman, was also brought on board as a partner. The San Luis Obispo store has grown to encompass 5,000 square feet of the 900 block on Monterey St. In the late 1990’s Boo Boo’s expanded their offerings to include music and film on DVD.
