Posted August 9, 201113 yr From MusicWeek: Beggars Banquet, Domino and a host of other indie labels have become the latest victims of the riots ravaging London after the distribution warehouse where much of their stock was held was burned to the ground this morning. Sony DADC in Enfield was set on fire this morning leaving many labels worried all or most of their stock of records by artists including Seasick Steve, The Horrors, Adele and Two Door Cinema Club have gone up in smoke. PIAS holds all its stock on the premises, which are understood to have been set alight at around 4am this morning. No one from that company was available for comment. Beggars Group chairman Martin Mills confirmed his group had stock at the major warehouse, but said he and other larger labels would be less affected by the disaster than smaller labels because they carried stock in other locations. Nevertheless, Mills called the latest set-back for the indie sector “horrible, horrible” and added that many labels would also now face manufacturing issues to replenish destroyed stock. :o :o :o
