Cult music shop in Zagreb closes its doors and moves after 57 years

Music Shop Croatia Records, which was formerly Jugoton, located on Mirko Bogović (Bogovićeva) street in downtown Zagreb has closed after 57 years in the same location.😢

  For more than half a century, the Zagreb store was the go-to place for everyone who wanted to buy a new record and listen to it at home. It was also a place where finally everyone could see their music idols up close in in-store meet and greets.
