Anybody know of a decent place for a record dig near Schiphol in Amsterdam.

nOT BEEN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARs , but, there a shop called wax well just behind Dam square thats worth checkin out, they had some amazing rare funk LP's behind the counter. its in an area called 9 streets, and a couple down the Leidspien. Rembrantsplien flea markt can turn upa few bargains, on sat morning, There was a healthy amount of collectors shops, but mainly prog orientated if memory serves me right, unfortunatly it usually doesnt, LOL. Have a good en and save some for me, I going back in the summer!

Nice one fella!

Am hittin the flea market in morning with some euros, thanks for the up!

Think geeselad means Wartelooplein flea market which is just down the road from Rembrandtsplein and is open daily except Sundays

On Utechtsestraat just off Rembrandtsplein there is Concerto Records a large 2nd hand shop

Wax Well probably the best tho (they are clued up on prices) ask to see more 45s and a box may appear from the basement !

There's also Record Mania on Ferdinand Bolstraat. More LP's than 45s and another shop that knows its prices.

There is a strange mix of flea market and organic market on the Noordermarkt and a small number of stalls usually have boxes of records. Very hit and miss though, but normally cheap. More like a car boot sale in some ways.

There is a 2nd hand record shop on one of the side streets between the Noordermarkt organic/flea market and the food market on Lindengracht, but for the life of me, I can't remember what street it's on or what it's called. Could take you there on a bike no problem though!

Here's a link to the Record Mania website. Nice pics of the shop...

Amsterdam Soul Club is on Saturday night at the Badcuyp...

And i missed it cos of my flight home :(

Did you find any tunes ?

Cheers Paul

I was travelling down from Den Helder and reached Amsterdam around 1pm. I knew where I was going from a makeshift map that I had made the night before , it didn't stop me from getting lost a few times though

I only saw some odds and ends but nothing ventured nothing gained. Concerto had plenty stock but nothing that cant be had elsewhere. Record Mania eluded me.....next time for sure

The flea market at Waterlooplein was the better venture with plenty to look through in 7's and LPs but alas......all tunes that nobody else wanted

I would do it again because I didn't have too much time to play with and left the 'Dam around 6pm to catch a flight at Schipol,

I had a few pints in the City but kept out the coffee shops cos my work screens for such things

maybe if I had more time and told the mrs I wont be back till Sunday , I could have made the Sat night do

Am glad I had a chance while I was there,

thanks again for info,

H
