Amoeba Music

I had a powerful hankerin' to learn something about North African music, so I just called up the store on the phone and got an awesome mini-lecture on the subject along with some great advice on what to listen to first. Thanks Diego, thanks Amoeba.

I love Amoeba. Its my favorite store in the world. Any chance one day you might allow loyal customers to place special orders?

I visited you guys two years ago from Aberdeen, Scotland - and what a place you've got!! Music Mecca! I got lost in your store for hours, I only wish it was just down the road from my place! Can't wait to return to SF for another rummage around your diverse selection. Best wishes Laura

thanks for all the biscuits. more please.

I live about 2 hours away from SF, so once or twice a year we pack up the family and take a day trip. Every single trip, after I get on a bus from Market to Haight, I have simply one place in mind: Amoeba Records! My family and I have been doing this for over 6 years now, and never has this place cease to amaze me. I pretty much have bought my most memorable lps and cds here! Absolutely no cd venue ANYWHERE had any Shudder to Think albums, so Amoeba naturally has my devoted blessings :)

I used to live in Thousand Oaks and would go to Amoeba at least once a week. I now live on Long Island and I am literally sitting here at 12:40AM wishing that I could be in Hollywood, just so I can spend hours in Amoeba looking for laserdiscs and Nine Inch Nails Singles. This is ridiculous. Amoeba is the last hope. I usually shop on ebay and amazon now, but I still would find things in amoeba that could never be found through the network. Amoeba makes me feel like a kid and there needs to be one in every major city.

I travel to San Francisco from Melbourne (Australia)twice a year and I always make sure that i come in for a browse..... Not once have I come out of the store empty handed. Without doubt the most diverse collection of world music and vinyl I am yet to find. Cheers Kris

Hi Amoeba, I was one of the lucky 300 to see Paul on JUne 27th. But apart from all the thrills that went with seeing Paul and mixing with all the other Beatle fans the other most touching event of the evening was when I finally entered the store itself full of 'I don't believe this is happening' and you people from Amoeba appaluded us. It was indeed one of the most moving experiences of my life. And I yelled out in response, '"Anything is possible' and you yelled back the same with a smile. And when the concert was over you applauded us again as we left. Thankyou. This is what rock and roll is all about. The fans and the musiciains working together all to make this world a better place. I have been involved in a John Lennon project of mine for a while now and even though Paul was upset when he sang HERE TODAY I just want you all to know I experienced something that affirms how live John Lennon's spirit really is. To let you have faith how indeed alive the Beatle spirit really is 11 Bless you all at Amoeba and thank you so much again for one of the most warming experiences of my life - as well as the fans you handed out that day as we stood in line along with the V8 and health bars!! Love and Peace Chris Dodd aka Chris Rayburn.

I was so happy the other day to find those UNDERCOVER SLUT CD's at Amoeba on Sunset. I was looking for these UCS imports for like 2 years!

I would live at Amoeba if you guys would let me. (:
