Da Capo Records opened it’s doors on the 1st of August 1986. Since then it has become one of the leading specialist's shops in The Netherlands in the field of original and elementary music genres; from Rhythm & Blues, fifties rock’n’roll and sixties beat to garage, punk, wave and other alternative music styles. Stock consists of nearly all available re-issues on vinyl concerning sixties pop, garage and psychedelia as well as a wide selection of jazz, blues, soul, ska and soundtracks. All essential and less easy to find CD’s in this field are also available. Ever since the early days of our shop we have accumilated a huge amount of all things punk, wave, independents and alternative. First and foremost on vinyl and to a lesser extent also on CD. The amount of 7” singles available in our shop is unequalled in Holland!

Secondhand albums and singles in the musical genres described above are available in our basement, The Beatcave. Here you’ll also find Beatsville Corner, Signed DC Books, our book department specialized in Beat Generation, Provo, hippie and other youthcults. Obviously you’ll also find here plenty of musicbooks and magazines.

Until 1994 Da Capo was also Home of Kelt Records. On this legendary Dutch independent label bands such as The Otherside, The Comedown, The Kliek, Daryll-Ann and The Blue Guitars released their debut singles and EP’s. On this site you’ll find a complete discography as well as information of what’s still available.

Since 1999 the magazine Warm Sounds is published twice a year. The magazine gives a history of Dutch record companies in the fifties and sixties, complete with labellistings and background information. Although the magzine is written in Dutch, the listings speak for itself with all sorts of information for record freaks unavailable elsewhere and mostly published here for the first time ever.

Our stock is too big to include in one complete database. As it also changes all the time, a visit to the shop is most recommended. However, we have started to set up a database, merely the tip of the iceberg. Listings will be added all the time with goods that are actually available - we offer no virtual stock!

Here you’ll find thousands of punk, wave, garage, independents and alternative 7” singles from the late seventies to the present day. These are all new, unplayed items, available from stock.
