Label Collections

Alongside our curated Collections, and as part of our mission to make new music discovery easier, we believe that helping you navigate our stock by label can play a key role in finding new music you'll love. Chances are if you like Sharon Jones, you'll love other stuff on Daptone, right?!

So here we offer up a selection of our favourite labels and their current offering in our store. We've also tried to bring a bit of the label history and ethos to life too. We've merchandised the albums together in the physical shop in the same way too. Hope you find it as useful as one of our regulars, Phil, did;

'Delighted to visit Capsule records this morning to find they had organised some of their vinyl by recording label.  Made it easy to browse for new artists to try; a little too easy according to my wife!"
