I live in Tijuana right now but I spent most of my life living in Los Angeles. I loved going to Amoeba when I lived in L.A. They always had all the music and movies I was looking for in any format (i.e., DVD, Blu-ray, LP, CD). It was so cool going there and you would spend at least 2 hours in store because they had so much cool music and movies in stock. Sometimes you would find really rare and out of print LPs and movies there. I once found a copy of Santana III on vinyl for a quadraphonic sound system for about $15. I also loved that you could sell them all your VHS tapes, CD, LP, DVDs, Blu-rays. I once did when I was trying to raise money to build myself a house in Tijuana which I eventually did. They were a great store. Sad to see them go and I hope they will be opening their doors again one day when this awful pandemic is over.

You know back in the day there was Tower Records. They were the biggest vinyl retailor on the planet. I guess that's where Amoeba got the idea from.

@GMHG777 4 года назад

Haven't been to the LA Sunset store since 2006, was a killer fun experience shopping there.. Dropped a ridiculous amount of money both times. Hope they can weather the storm and resume business once this virus madness is under control.

@brownyuio 4 года назад

I’m originally from LA but I unfortunately had to move to Las Vegas back in 2006. I’ve been to the San Francisco location once and I’ve been to the Hollywood spot on multiple occasions. It’s such an iconic place and it really is this magical oasis for music fans.

My God it's literally a national tragedy. Actually draws tears from my eyes. I bought literally one of the rarest cds in my collection of 17 years, with over 280 unique worldwide releases by my favorite artist/producer/composer "BT" through Amoeba's Discogs presence. I explained that I am paralyzed and on a fixed income, and they were amazingly kind enough to accept my offer for the album, which was a signed copy of Electronic Opus and was released exclusively thru the albums Kickstarter campaign and is even a unique catalog number. I hope they come thru this ordeal even stronger than before. With the rise in physical media popularity and sales and rise in value especially, I think it would be completely possible! Godspeed Ameoba, we the fans will be here waiting for your triumphant return!

Then a couple of summers ago I'm in Studio City to see my daughter's wedding and took some time out to go to Amoeba and get a bunch of pictures of myself there as well as a bunch of their swag. Their turntable mat is in my collection of turntable mats. :-)

Love the Hollywood location. Used to hit it whenever possible, just a massive spot that was fun to dig through and talk to others looking around the same area I’d be in. Was walking out one day with my buddy and Flea walked right in past us, giving each other a what’s up head nod. That was the last time I was there... hope they pick up ok.

@Fonso13 4 года назад

I loved that store!! Whenever my friends and I would be attending an event in LA we always made sure we stopped by Amoeba's!! I bought John Carpenter's Lost Themes at Amoeba and later that day I had Mr Carpenter sign it!! I would also get my blu ray fix there as well. Gonna miss that original spot and i cant wait til they open there new location.

The one and only time I went to Amoeba Music in Hollywood was the beginning of last summer. On my way out, I happened to notice that the person in front of me grabbing some music was none other than Quentin Tarantino. this was right around the time of the release of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Needless to say, I couldn’t resist the urge to go up and say hi to him. He seemed just like an average joe, visiting his favorite record store and grabbing some tunes. Massive store, and I felt honored to get a chance to check it out, especially considering the hard times they are going through now.

Yes, I have been to Amoeba's location in Los Angeles. On separate occasions I found some BB King CDs, some Kraftwerk, and one of the Kissology DVD box sets. The crown jewel of my Amoeba purchases was the six disc Buddy Holly ‎- Not Fade Away: The Complete Studio Recordings And More box set. I even took a celebratory/spending spree trip to the store when my then wife and I divorced. Amoeba was really the best part of my life in the Los Angeles area. I'm saddened to hear of their tough times and I know after all this darkness passes, they will come back strong.

@jeffsims8270 4 года назад

The first time I ever visited AMOEBA was in the late 90's at the Berkeley location. That same weekend, I also got to vist Rasputin's and the AMOEBA in SF. In '01 or '02 I went to visit the LA location and been visiting there ever since. Besides DISCOGS, AMOEBA was the only other place that always had rare records that I could usually find. The current location will definatly be missed😔

@matsamuel5655 4 года назад

Hi, I used to work for HMV at Oxford Circus in London. On the 9th of May 2003 we had an instore PA by Madonna !!! We had to close the store as this was a Fan Club event. We had police outside because of the large number of people who found out about it turn up to try and get in. At another time a few members of staff were asked if they wanted to stay after the store was closed because someone was coming in for a private shop, we wen't told who. It turned out to be Michael Jackson & Macauly Culkin. Elton John came in a few times for a private shop as well.

@qualorii 4 года назад

I only got to visit Amoeba (Hollywood location) once, last October. I'm from Arkansas and went to LA last year for a family wedding. I HAD to stop by Amoeba while I was there, and that place was amazing! I bought several records there that I'd never seen anywhere else. It really sucks that they had to close. Hopefully everything goes well and they open the new location at some point.

Thank you for the update. I am saddened to hear this news. I have such fond memories every time I went into the San Francisco or Berkeley locations. I only got to go to the Hollywood location once. I recently placed an online order with them and just a few days later the site was "down" with the notice. I am fortunate I got my order in just in time. I'm probably one of their last few customers. I look forward to shopping there again if they can weather this. Best wishes to Amoeba and their staff!

Sadly I only made it to the "old" Hollywood location once. Was kinda overwhelming to be perfectly honest, but definitely found so much cool stuff while I was there. Especially compared to one of my favorites here in Riverside Mad Platter. Sucks they had to close the Sunset store sooner than anticipated, but when they get the new location up and running I'll make it a semi regular trip.

@stevensmith8793 4 года назад

I'll comment on your channel the same way I did on Amoeba's site when they decided to shut their doors early. I disagree with how their plight is presented. They had to shut their doors like virtually every non-essential business did in LA County when Coronavirus hit. They threw in the towel early in the process, not even giving it a go when restrictions eased and businesses were allowed to open back up. So many of the smaller So Cal record shops found ways to keep their revenue flowing, reaching out to their regular customers, selling on Instagram, selling on Discogs. Their doors remain open to this day. Amoeba went immediately to a Go Fund me page, yet they simultaneously had new construction going on for their new site. Amoeba was a rare exception in the world of retail, with a daily influx of customers that probably rivals your local Target retail store. No way they had to ask for handouts as early as they did!

@theabsentdeity 4 года назад

You have no idea of the logistics involved in that location's shut down. If you knew half of what was going on you wouldn't have written that post. They made the right decision.

@stevensmith8793 4 года назад

@@theabsentdeity I know that you don't ask your customer base for handouts! Not when so many were laid off themselves. You seriously believe a business of Amoeba's magnitude could not come up with a way to finance $300,000 dollars? As I said countless record stores with 1/50th the inventory amoeba has found a way to stay alive.
