Record shops Amsterdam

An excellent record shop in the center of town, on a lively thoroughfare not far from the Spui literary square, this is the benchmark for dance & electro music. The store is a veritable den of clubbers, as well as amateurs looking for advice and ideas. The site also features a host of suggestions for livening up your upcoming parties. You'll also find a few ideas for T-shirts, hats and hoodies, so you can be right on trend with the music! Address to follow.

This is the biggest record shop in town. Given the rarity of record shops, that's a fact in itself, plus it's a quality address that sells both new and second-hand. The staff are passionate about their work and will undoubtedly be able to help you make your choice. Concerto also organizes fun little concerts. The store also has a cafeteria area with hot drinks and a few pastries, which is very pleasant. An address to cherish, especially as it is the last of its kind in the Dutch capital.

For those nostalgic for vinyl - and there are more and more of them - the best address is a stone's throw from Leidseplein, opposite Paradiso, the famous church converted into a concert hall. You'll find the cream of rock and black music in the basement, as well as a wide selection of rare gems and, above all, invaluable advice from a passionate and friendly staff. A long-standing classic of its kind, to be pampered, of course! A quality address that's a pilgrimage when you're around Leidseplein. A treasure trove of nuggets.

An address not to be missed by all vinyl enthusiasts... Thousands of new and used records await you, neatly arranged in their bins. The store can be spotted from afar thanks to a giant banana as a sign, as the Velvet Underground is obliged to do... A must-see, therefore, especially during a visit to the capital's red light district and student quarter. The store is located in a lively street with a number of interesting boutiques that are sure to please, but for us, it's more the beautiful historical music posters that catch our eye.
