If Music Presents You Need This: An Introduction To Klinkhamer Records

F Music owner Jean-Claude focuses on Dutch record shop Klinkhamer Records for the latest installment in his "An Introduction To..." series on BBE Music. Owner Michel Veenstra curates a special selection of music representing the store. Situated in Groningen, Klinkhamer Records originated in 2000 as a branch of the established 'Klinkhamer Antiek en Curiosa' shop. After achieving success in the record business, Michel Veenstra and his brother Stephan acquired the store from founder Martin Klinkhamer in 2005. Retaining the original name, Michel explains, "We both loved it, and it was already well-known in our town." "You Need This: An Introduction To... Klinkhamer Records" predominantly features tracks from the late 70s and early to mid-80s, delving into sought-after records, primarily from Holland but also venturing to Chicago and Italy for exceptional jazz, blues, and gospel sounds. Jean-Claude praises Michel's profound knowledge and dedication to vinyl amidst the challenges of running an independent shop. For vinyl enthusiasts visiting Holland, a trip to Klinkhamer Records is highly recommended.
