Demon / Edsel stock catastrophe! We regret to announce all Edsel reissue stock lost in Sony warehouse fire
The Sony DADC distribution warehouse in Enfield was destroyed by fire on the lawless night of August 8th. As well as the much-publicised loss to the so-called indie labels, reissue specialist Demon/Edsel lost all of its CD stock. Pete's mail-order operation Hillside Music holds only a small stock of its own, and the economics of the record business make a new pressing unlikely. Apart from a few copies still on the shelves, Pete's back catalogue is once again unavailable to buy. These are the ones we lost:
Beware Of The Beautiful Stranger
CD reissue
Driving Through Mythical America
CD reissue
A King At Nightfall / The Road Of Silk
Double CD reissue
Secret Drinker / Live Libel
Double CD reissue
CDs on the Hillside label are still available, including:
