Boudisque - Large store, carry just about everything (as long as it isn't jazz, classical or sung in Dutch). Good collection of techno & electronica (used to be better). Some UK import.

Concerto - Big store (actually several linked together), best known for their used CD & vinyl department, which is the largest in Amsterdam. They carry just about everything, and sometimes you can come up with original Kraftwerk pressings and stuff like that if you work your way through all the shit. Just keep browsing. In the other departments you'll find pop, rock, dance, metal, classical, blues, jazz, pretty much everything actually.
address: Utrechtsestraat 60

Dance Tracks - Good store with loads of techno, trance and mellow club stuff, as well as soul, r hip hop.

Distortion - Your friendly neigbourhood low fi dealer. Small shop, loads of vinyl, especially 7"s, nice guys. Specialises in guitar bands no one's ever heard of, but does also keep a fast growing section of IDM, trip hop & jungle which contains cool stuff. They do their own UK import, and it shows.

Midtown - Used to be called "Blackbeat" when it still was Boudisque's dance music subsidary.

There's a big cheapo department downstairs (mind your head).

A small update regarding Distortion Records. They moved to another address: Westerstraat 244 which is two hundred meters down the road from the old place.

A 2nd update is that Dance Tracks and Rhythm Import are now in the same store. The former Dance Tracks store is closed.
I don't know the exact address of Rhythm Import, but it's indeed in Nieuwe Nieuwstraat.

distorientation wrote:

I'm pretty sure Rush Hour carries a small stock of cd's as well, only underground stuff obv, and definiteley far fewer than records. If ur a cd only buyer, def worth a look anyway. Fame on the Kalverstraat sells vinyl too, or at least they did a while ago. Bigger more mainstream minded shop, Virginish, but carry some dance, techno, electro and trance as well.

elisel wrote:

I know Rush Hour also sells CDs via their website, so I think they have a small collection as well in the store.

Fame indeed sells vinyl though it's not that much. The vinyl is not cheap. It's more a CD and DVD store where you can find all kinds of music and movies.

You could go to what we call 'Kringloopwinkels' where people bring their stuff which gets sold at low prices. You won't find a lot of eletronic stuff there.

A cool store is Mevius & Italiaander on Overtoom 21/25 near Leidseplein. You can find a lot of cool stuff at low prices. They also sell furniture but you have to walk to the back to find records and cds

This is an alphabetical list of record shops located in the center of Amsterdam (Updated may 1rst 2009).
I left out the big chains like Free Record Shop, as they are easy to find anyway and probably not of interest to anyone on Discogs. I kept in almost every shop (even some very mainstream and small) as long as it:
* specializes in anything,
* is outspoken about any part of their collection,
* or if they do 2nd hand cd’s/vinyl.

Some of the descriptions below were copied from Bunkerheadz post (first one in the thread).
I also try to keep this list up to date. So if you know any changes, just post on this thread.

Shops mentioned in earlier posts, but not repeated in the list below, have closed in the last few years: Get Records, Boudisque, Plaatboef, Virgin Megastore, Dance Tracks, Rhythm Import.
---

Absoluut Vinyl
Waterloopleinmarkt
In front of the Stopera on the canal. Waterlooplein hosts a rather commercial flea-market, open every day, except sundays. This stand sells 2nd hand vinyl. This one is usually open for business. There are more stands selling records, but not all of them are regulars on the market.

Amstel Antiques
Near Rembrandtplein on the Amstel 110.
This shop sells 2nd hand furniture and antiques. Also a lot of old vinyl; pop, rock, new wave, punk, soul, disco, jazz, etc. It's not possible to listen to the records as there are no turntables.

Back Beat Records
Egelantiersstraat 19
Small shop specializes in latin-jazz, acid-jazz, rock-jazz, vocal-jazz, fusion, swing, bebop, hard-bop & other jazz, soul, gospel-muziek, blues, rhythm & blues, new orleans, cajun & zydeco on LP/CD.

Concerto
Utrechtsestraat 52
Big store (actually several linked together), best known for their used CD & vinyl department, which is the largest in Amsterdam. They carry just about everything, and sometimes you can come up with original Kraftwerk pressings and stuff like that if you work your way through all the shit. Just keep browsing. In the other departments you'll find pop, rock, dance, metal, classical, blues, jazz, pretty much everything actually. Also a good DVD section (movies, some music).

Discostars
Haarlemmerdijk 89
2nd hand cd’s and vinyl. This one is a bit trashy. More a neighbourhood shop, really.

Distortion Records
Westerstraat 244
One of the best and nicest shops in Amsterdam. Very eclectic. Lots of records. Lots of different styles. Mainly vinyl. From guitar and electronics to the lastest releases in minimal techno, d&b, house, electro and dub-step. Usually very up to date, although it can be a bit messy, which means you sometimes really have to dig the crates to find records released more than a month ago.

Eargasm
Haarlemmerdijk 180
Small separate shop on the first floor of Most Wanted (Latin Music). 2nd hand vinyl: Soul, Jazz, Dance, New Wave, Pop, etc.

FAME Music
Kalverstraat 2
Huge shop which easily gets on your nerves. Quite a lot of techno, house and dance cd’s, but if you compare it to the many smaller specialized record shops in Amsterdam, you realize there’s really not much need to go here. Their DVD-stock is a bit more interesting (back of the basement, after the huge piles of dvd’s from US tv series).

Fat Beats Amsterdam
Singel 10
Specialised in hip hop, reggae, R&B and breaks. They're in the basement of the shop where Rhythm Import used to be.

Flesch Records
Noorderkerkstraat 16
2nd hand vinyl. Classical, Jazz, Soul, Beat... Only open at the end of the week (Thursday to Saturday) and on Mondays.

Gigantic
Sint Antoniesbreestraat 15
Small shop with CD's.

Groove Connection Record Store
Sint Nicolaasstraat 41
Lot of goa trance and club techno, almost exclusively on vinyl.

Indeep ‘n’ Dance
Rozengracht 60
Club, techno, etc. Small shop selling mainly vinyl.

Independent Outlet
Vijzelstraat 77
In the basement of a skateboard, sneaker and streetwear shop they sell hardcore & punk records, Also some New Wave, Pop, etc. Both on vinyl as on CD. A lot of 2nd hand stuff.

Musiques Du Monde
Singel 281
Extensive collection of world music on cd.

Muzikat
Sint Antoniesbreestraat 3g
Small shop with some vinyl, CD's DVD and quite a few books about music.

Outland Records
Zeedijk 22
Dance, techno, house, club music. All vinyl. Their techno shop in the basement has closed. Also selling some dj-equipement and a lot of designer toys. Outland is also a record label.

De Platenkoning
Hasselaerssteeg 12
Retro games (old/vintage computergames, handhelds, tabletops and cartridges). I believe that the ‘platen’ (records) are only sold through mail order.

Record Friend
Sint Antoniesbreestraat 64
2nd hand and re-issues. Pop, Funk, Rock, Soul. Only vinyl.

Record Mania
Ferdinand Bolstraat 30
2nd hand vinyl.

Record Palace
Weteringschans 33
2nd hand vinyl and a few cd’s. Opposite of Paradiso. Selling music from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Nederbeat is a 'speciality of the house'. Also some Reggae, Dance, Soul / Funk, Jazz, etc.

Rush Hour Records
Spuistraat 130
One of the best and nicest record shops in Amsterdam. House, techno, electro, disco. A place to find stuff not so easily available in other record shops. Also a record label and distribution.

Second Life Music
Prinsengracht 366
Buying and selling vinyl. Pop, Rock, Soul, New Wave, etc.

Soul Food
Nieuwe Nieuwstraat 27C
Specialist in soul.

Velvet
Rozengracht 40
New and 2nd cd’s and vinyl. Also a small collection of dvd’s. Usually not too expensive. Also mail order.

Wax Well
Gasthuismolensteeg 16
Shop specializing in hip hop, funk and seventies disco. All vinyl, most 2nd hand stuff, a lot is imported from the USA. Very central, located on one of the small streets west from Dam square.

Hey Kengreen,

That is brilliant.

Boudisque is closing. Not sure when, so keep it on the map for the moment. They're having sales at the moment.

Waterlooplein is not where you think it is. It's much more in the center.
Also missing a little shop on the Amstel 110 called Amstel Antiques.
Could be okay for anyone into Jazz.

Boudisque closes at March 29.
Their smaller shops in Utrecht and Nijmegen (dvd's only) will continue for the moment.

Get Records opens Sunday June 15th for the last time, more or less celebrating the event with a guest dj, drinks, etc. @ Utrechtsestraat 105.

Another shop probably closing down soon is Killa Cutz; Nieuwe Nieuwstraat 19. From Monday June 16th they're going to have sales.
Jungle, D&B, breakbeat, some disco, electro, etc. + minimal house / techno from Germany.

And jazz record store Blue Note (Gravenstraat 12, Amsterdam) also went out of business this month, but that's a shop where I've never been. So I can't give any details about that story.

Which shop would you reccomend for 1960's rock especially Dutch or German prints?

@ hoteltravelfun

Try these:

Flesch Records
Noorderkerkstraat 16
2nd hand vinyl. Only open at the end of the week (Thursday to Saturday) and on Mondays. Small shop, specialized in older records; Rock, Soul, Jazz, Avant Garde...

Record Palace
Weteringschans 33
2nd hand vinyl and a few cd’s. Opposite of Paradiso. Selling music from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Nederbeat is a 'speciality of the house'. Also some Reggae, Dance, Soul / Funk, Jazz, etc.

Record Mania
Ferdinand Bolstraat 30
2nd hand vinyl: Rock, soul, funk, punk, many different styles.
Not sure if they have much from the sixties... But you could give it a try.

And maybe this one:
Amstel Antiques
Near Rembrandtplein on the Amstel 110.
This shop sells 2nd hand furniture and antiques. Also a lot of old vinyl; pop, rock, new wave, punk, soul, disco, jazz, etc. It's not possible to listen to the records as there are no turntables.

Updated my list above (posted about a year ago).
Seems that Mevius & Italiaander has closed.
No idea if they moved elsewhere. Shop space is now for rent.

They have moved to Deventer - they could not find a new decent place in Amsterdam at an acceptable price.
