Not to add more fuel to the flames, but: I have heard several horror stories about labels getting screwed by Vinyl Distribution. In one case I know of, a major UK producer/label manager was forced to take Vinyl to court *twice* due to non-payment and breach of contract, before finally switching to SRD. This one's hardly a rumour, as he told me the story himself sitting down over dinner...
Every label has to battle with lax distributors, but that is just ridiculous... ----- Original Message ----- From: scope - streetbeats <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 6:36 AM Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Vinyl Net warning -- buyers beware > bad company and ed and opticasl have been with Vinyl, not SRD for the > last many years. > > what *is* lame is rumours. > just dont bother. > > ************************************** > Get your FREE Web based email at > http://www.m4jungle.com > ************************************** > Streetbeats, Noir, Pi, Z-no > http://www.streetbeats.co.uk > http://www.m4jungle.com > http://www.noir-recordings.com > http://www.pi-recordings.com > http://www.z-no.co.uk > ************************************** > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 27 April 2002 00:07 > To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List > Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Vinyl Net warning -- buyers beware > > > Its true......
