was all over when watts and syntax closed down

that was a big shocker

to be somewhat expected

but still a shocker

The way I see it's removing the middle man. There were all kinds of things wrong with the former vinyl distribution system, it actually makes more sense now for a lot of labels to deal directly with the retailers. In the end the consumer will get better a product/service.

there will always be the internet.

it isn't as expensive as people think it is, and you will always have infinitely more selection.

Vinyl isn't dead, the old ways of buying it are the only thing that are.

Yeah but many of these distributors have P&D deals.. Smaller labels
will be forced to shut down their operations or adopt the digital
only platform. Ok, so lets say we cut out the middle man - your label
presses 500 copies.. with your personal contacts within Canada - you'd
sell how many, 40-50? How do you infiltrate the other markets?

Selling your label's vinyls on your website - individual shipping costs
can accumulate, whether if a customer just wants 1 item from your online
web-store or you're sending a batch to record store x in Germany and
record store y in England.
