Indie distributors confirm Pinnacle replacements
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 19 December 2008
Nova Sales & Distribution, another smaller music distribution company who utilised bigger distributor Pinnacle to actually get product into shops, has announced a replacement deal with the independent distribution division of Universal Music.
Pinnacle, of course, went into administration at the start of the month, affecting hundreds of independent labels and tens of smaller distributors.
Many of those smaller distributors have already announced deals with other bigger players to takeover from Pinnacle in terms of getting product into shops, with Essential announcing a deal with Cinram almost as soon as Pinnacle collapsed, jazz distributor announcing a tie up with Proper, and Shellshock confirming a deal with Southern Records Distribution earlier this week.
Music Week report that another distributor affected, Kudos, is considering dealing with record stores directly rather than finding a replacement for Pinnacle.
