"Music is as much a part of Rotterdam as the water and harbours are. With it’s down-to-earth and open minded attitude it welcomes all kinds of styles, from jazz to gabber, they all found an audience in the Rotterdammerts. And one of the best places to stock your record collection with all of those styles is De Plaatboef.
With an immense collection of new and second hand CD and vinyl, it's hard not to satisfy your musical urges here. And when you have a hard time digging through the crates, stacked high and low, just asked at the counter and who knows; you might end up with an awesome story as well." - Mangrove

Very large selection! The people that work here are also very nice and you can always ask them anything! And if they do not have it in store you can even ask them to order it from their stock and they will call you!
This is definitely my go to store for anything related to LP and CD!

The classic place where you spend a lot of time if you want to buy a some music album and you don't know what exactly. We went there to buy vinyls. The variety is quite large, but still someone should expect a bit more. But there's no doubt that I would go again. This sense of vintage is really appealing!

Large selection! In all genres. Navigating around the store can be a bit challenging as the place is stuffed with records and cds.
Ground level is mostly new, except in front of the counter where they keep really interesting stuff and items last in. Upstairs you will find loads of jazz (new and secondhand, with the collector's items downstairs) and secondhand Rock/ Pop/ Metal etc.
Prices are generally ok.
This is one of three recordshops in this area of the city, not more than 400 meters apart: Plaatboef, Vinylspot and Demonfuzz which are all unmissable.

Jazz, funk, soul, hiphop, electro, pop, they have it all. Prices are really fair. Staff is friendly and has good recomendations, (exept Henk). There is one cute bald guy working.
