Legendary record store Amoeba Music launch digital vinyl archive
One of the world’s largest record shops, Amoeba Music have launched a digital download vault for rare and out-of-print vinyl releases.
The Californian independent store recently launched a new-look website and with it a section called ‘Vinyl Vaults’.
This new area features a “boutique, curated collection of digitized vinyl and 78s”.
Amoeba say about the project:
“Vinyl is the ultimate expression of an artist’s work, and we’re doing our best to preserve our history! Enjoy the depth and warmth of these vinyl masters, and for the full sonic impact upgrade to M4A (Lossless) or WAV Files.”
There are currently over 1000 digitalised vinyl items on sale, with around 10 being added every day.
Amoeba Music first opened in 1990 and have stores in Berkeley, San Francisco and Hollywood.
