A list of A-Z buy links for PIAS-distributed artists by label

Things We Lost In The Fire.

Yesterday morning thousands of CD and vinyl releases (and some film and games products too) were destroyed in a fire of the 20,000 square meter SonyDADC warehouse in Enfield, London during the London riots.. PIAS operated physical distribution for the UK and Ireland out of that warehouse on behalf of some 165 or so labels. To give you an idea of the scale of the loss, Beggars Group alone lost 750,000 CDs to the fire. While emergency contingency plans are being put in place and a temporary partner is put in place, a huge amount of stock from some of the world’s most revered independent labels disappeared with the flames. While cost price of the stock is covered by insurance, any profit that would have been made by the label is gone. In the meantime, they need some support. There are a few things you can do.

  1. Donate to the PIAS / AIM emergency fund directly.
  2. Go to your nearest independent record shop and buy releases from any of the below labels and artists while stocks last.
  3. Peruse the extensive list below (it took me hours, it’s the least you can do) and follow the links to purchase albums from the label’s digitally.Buy directly from the label first if possible. If you’re on Twitter, use the hashtag #labellove to indicate what you’ve bought.
  4. Visit the Label Love website and donate.
  5. Record Label Love: A comprehensive spreadsheet of labels affected started by Sean from Drowned In Sound. He’s hoping some hackers can turn it into something amazing. Latest version.

The below list was abridged to remove labels with little info or ones with rosters I had no recognition of so that it was possible to finish it. Where possible, buy from the label first (they should have their own stock and they’ll get the revenue quicker). I’ve included links to eMusic and Boomkat as they were both easy to search by label. Thanks to Sean and the team for some help on some of the below, via their Google doc. I returned the favour by filling in any blanks I could.

The subheading of the post of course comes from the Low album of the same name.
