Does this post even belong here? anyway... Was just wondering how record stores/online recordstores get their supplies. Whether it is like this:


supplier1 -----|
supplier2 -----|
supplier3 -----|---> middle guy---> STORE(juno, vinylwarning etc.)
supplier4 -----|
supplier5 -----|

or like this :

supplier1 -----|
supplier2 -----|
supplier3 -----|-------> STORE
supplier4 -----|
supplier5 -----|


coz it sounds cheaper if they get it from the suppliers directly but then it is more troublesome keeping track of the numerous labels?


Cheers!

You get with a good distributor. A good one will have all the latest stuff sourced

Suppliers/labels---> distributor/wholesaler---->store

Nothing to stop you having two distributors tho- although they might get shitty if they find about the others

yeah, and the best record stores have the best wholesalers.

yeah and the best record stores send floorfiller free vinyl...
