Clear Spot International
History
Clear Spot International is based in Alkmaar, The Netherlands, and was founded in 1996 by fanatical music lovers, who all have their own rich history and experience in the realm of music.
Our love for music in general, and for (underground and alternative) rock, pop, electronics and folk (in all possible forms and shapes) in particular, combined with our never ending hunger and curiosity for new vibes, impulses and sounds, has resulted in the following activities:
-world wide distribution of CDs, vinyl, DVDs, books, magazines etc.
-import and export
-our own record labels, Head Spin, Daffodelic & Time is a Spiral
We are specialized in many genres such as
-psychedelia (old and comtemporary)
-hardrock/stoner/metal
-rock'n'roll/rockabilly
-surf/beat
-garagerock and punk
-hardcore punk
-folk
-progressive rock
-pop
-indie
-avantgarde/experimental
-industrial/noise/dark ambient
-neofolk/martial
-gothic/electro/synthpop
-electronic/ambient
-jazz/blues/country
-soul/funk
Clear Spot International is proud to offer you a vast catalogue of titles, consisting of many brand new releases as well as older ones, and of course loads of reissues. (And if you're desperately looking for items which are notoriously hard to find, you might find them in our lists!)
