For other uses, see Aquarius Records.

Aquarius Records is an independent record store and the oldest record store of any sort in San Francisco, California, established in 1970. Aquarius is well-known for carrying an obscure selection of psychedelia, metal, and world music, and has an extensive mail order catalog. The store's selection is relatively small but carefully chosen and annotated by the staff of music aficionados.

[edit] History

The first Aquarius Records store was located in the Castro area of San Francisco. There were two early locations on Castro Street, including one next door to Harvey Milk's camera store. Around 1983, the store moved to 3961 24th Street, in Noe Valley. In 1996, new owner Windy Chien moved the store to 1055 Valencia Street in the Mission District, where it is located today.
