Beloved San Francisco Record Store Aquarius Records to Close

Aquarius Records has been open in San Francisco since at least 1970, championing independent, psychedelic, and experimental music in the Bay Area for decades. (It’s unknown exactly when the record shop opened). Today, owners Andee Connors and Allan Horrocks announced via their website that Aquarius would be closing on July 4 and re-opening as the second brick-and-mortor location for re-issue label Superior Viaduct under the Stranded name. The new management are named as “worthy successors,” and Connors and Horrocks note that while Aquarius is closing, there are plans in place to compile the “Big Book of aQ Reviews.”
