Daptone Records, the Brooklyn soul label that releases albums by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings among others, was burgled over the weekend, the label’s co-founder, Gabriel Roth, said in an e-mail message reported on BrooklynVegan.com. that numerous items had been stolen or damaged, including computers, turntables, amplifiers, guitars and other instruments. In an interview, the other founder, Neal Sugarman, said workers were still cleaning up the label’s office, in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, and assessing what was taken, adding, “It’s hard to tell whether they knew what they wanted to get or not.” He said that police were investigating and that the label would remain closed for several days, though it hoped to reopen by Friday for a planned recording session for Rod Stewart.
