hi Recently i was talking to my local indapendent record store (in canberra, Australia). I was asking why is it that they hardly get any detroit stuff and the stuff they do get only comes from certain record labels(planet e, axis), but somehow they seem to get a lot of average-shit music in. It was explained to me that it is to do with what the australian distrubutors get in. The reason why planet e and axis turn up is because they are run alot more efeciantly than some of the other detroit labels.
Then i was told that they tried to get around this problem by getting an account straight from submerge, only there was one big problem when trying to do this. You need to buy ten copies of the same 12" to get an account with them. There is know way that this store, although not small, can afford to buy 10 because they wont be able to move them all. They said if it was taken down to about 4 they will take the risk and try it out. Think about it how is the average joe blow going to discover this wonderful music if they cant pick it up or accidently stumble across it. Has anybody had a similar problem to this or have any hints to work it out. thanx Sam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
