Amoeba's Secret is an EP by Paul McCartney recorded during a secret performance at Amoeba Music on June 27, 2007. The EP was released in November 2007 in a limited vinyl edition, and in January 2009 on CD and digital download formats.
The EP reached 119 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, despite relatively little promotion. The low-resolution album art is intentional, as to make the EP resemble a bootleg recording.
