Aquarius Records is an
independent record store and the oldest record store of any sort in
San Francisco,
California, established in 1970. Aquarius is 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. They claim to have coined the modern alias
dronology for the
drone music genre.
