Sony distribution centre destroyed by flames
News: 9th August 2011 by Louise Dodgson under Record Labels, Selling & Distributing Your Music
Many independent labels have awoken to a nasty shock today as the Sony's distribution warehouse has suffered a fire, possibly started as part of the riots happening in London at the moment. The site is also home to PIAS Distribution which distributes releases for many independent record labels, and there are worries that much of the stock held at the warehouse has been damaged by the fire. This will obviously have a huge impact on the record labels in question and we hope it is something they will manage to bounce back from, not to mention the record stores that these distributors stock.
