oscillik Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/aug/09/independent-record-labels-stock-london-riots okay, as many of us here will be aware by now, the fire has destroyed a lot of stock there at the DADC. But what isn't known is what kind of stock was held there. We can assume that CDs and DVDs were held there, but could it be plausible that Vinyl stock was held there too? Very disappointed about the possible implications this could have on the indies here :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 You might have seen this already, from the fb page of Norman Records: Dreadful news from the rioting in London last night. The Sony DADC warehouse was burnt down last night which holds all the stock for PIAS UK (our largest supplier). Many of the labels like 4AD, Domino, Warp, Rock Action, Matador etc will probably have had their UK stock destroyed. Obviously this will have a massive effect on the music industry (and us). Our thoughts go out to all of those who've lost their jobs and livelihoods from this. Only time will tell what the knock on effect will be... (Source: http://www.facebook.com/normanrecords). Implies that it doesn't look good at all. Don't forget the implications for independent record shops as well, who're probably struggling enough as it is.

patternoverlap Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Damn that is awful news. My heart goes out to the labels and their employees and all of the fans who will probably have to pay a premium for the releases they want, if they can find copies at all.

Joyrex Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Damn... this might be the end of some of these labels as they were struggling to stay afloat to begin with... does insurance cover these losses? What's sadder is there might be releases where those were the only physical copies remaining in the world - some music may be lost forever due to this (I certainly hope not). Here's a partial list of labels affected by this (courtesy of Scott Hansen's ISO50 blog): 2020 Vision Beggars Border Community Boysnoize Def Jux Domino Drag City FatCat Full Time Hobby Kitsune Kompakt Lex Mute Ninja Tune Peacefrog Rough Trade Secretly Canadian / Jagjaguwar / Dead Oceans Soma Sonar Kollectiv Soul Jazz Subliminal Thrill Jockey Touch And Go Vagrant Vice Warp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
