The guy working at the info point who is deeply into free and soul jazz is a real gem to the vinyl community. He has great knowledge and gave me some fantastic suggestions. Bought in the end so many records because some of them were fantastic deals. They have various sections withing each genre, new arrivals, reduced price and second hand plus regular priced stuff. Everything for a fair dollar, probably even cheaper than most places i have been before especially new and sealed stuff. Great experience, recommend it to everyone who is also looking for sometimes rarer stuff or good quality reissues of rare stuff.
I finally walked through the doors of the first Amoeba location in Berkeley! Expansive space packed with records, cds, cassettes, and minutia. Not as massive as the L.A. location but this place has it's own "little brother" personality, seeming to work a little harder helping customers, putting up a vast variety of killer "grails" on the walls, competitive pricing, and huge variety in the bins. You won't walk out empty handed.
This place is a heaven for a person like me who is an audiophile 🥹 Not exaggerating but they have everything here. I was not expecting to find kpop here, and look what I got!!! **Amortage by Jisoo** This place is amazing, I am gonna go there every month just to buy new CDs. Plus it was the Haight Ashbury street fair, so there was a live performance right in front of the store.
The biggest record store I have ever seen. I could have spent all day in there. Awesome place with cool cool vibes
This is one of the oldest record stores that still exists in the Bay Area. My niece collects vinyl records so we came here. I haven’t been here in a very long time. There is tons of old and new records you can find. They have other items like vintage tees, mugs, pins and more. The store is huge. You can spend a good three hours in here. The customer service is ok. We got to the register and we were out within minutes. The guy that helped us can use a smile. (But maybe he wasn’t having a good day). I think the value is standard. I paid $20 for one of my shirts. I was happy. If you love musics and things associated with it you’d love Amoeba. Parking: it’s San Francisco so you know what that means? Hard to find parking unless you park in a garage. We were lucky enough to get a street parking. 4 stars - because customers service and interaction is important to me.
