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. The back of the sleeve features an incompleted wordsearch whose letters contain hidden details of the recording.
Track listing
- "Only Mama Knows" (McCartney) - 3:47
- "C Moon" (McCartney, Linda McCartney) - 3:18
- "That Was Me" (McCartney) - 3:02

Nominations
Two tracks from this EP were nominated for Grammy Awards in 2008 for the 51st Grammy Awards on February 8 2009: "That Was Me" for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and "I Saw Her Standing There" for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance. Neither song won, and both lost to John Mayer tracks ("Say" and "Gravity" respectively). McCartney performed "I Saw Her Standing There" with Dave Grohl on drums during the ceremony.
Reception
"Sadly, this is just a taste of the full 20-song set, but it's a good one", Stephen Thomas Erlewine for Allmusic. {{citation}}: Empty citation (help)
