Grooves

Grooves in San Francisco carries cassettes and books alongside its core vinyl selection, with a focus on jazz, rock, and classical music. Located on Market Street since 1993, the store was founded by lifelong collector Ray Andersen after his personal collection outgrew multiple storage spaces. The shop built its reputation on finding hard-to-find recordings and maintaining knowledgeable staff.

Grooves stocks everything from 1950s jazz and 60s rock to 70s fusion and classical recordings. The store does not buy used items. Customers can visit the shop in person or reach out for recommendations during business hours.
