I've bought many albums on the Topic label over the last 20 years or so. However, in recent years many that I have purchased have either contained a sticker from CM Distribution or a "card" for CM's mail order side. some of these purchases have come from "real" shops (independent and chains) or from UK online sellers. This obviously suggests that many dealers are happy to buy Topic products direct from CM or its distribution company.
Ive also bought CDs from Beautiful Jo, Fuse, Transatlantic and others which indicate they are sourced from or sold via CM. Again I ask, If DB is so disreputable, why are these labels deaing with him on a regular basis and on a long term basis. Surely these peop[le are well aware of the furore surrounding DB?? They obviously havent had the problems others claim to have had.

Happy Christmas

PS One of the most recent Topic albums I bought that seems to have come via CM was Bob Fox - Borrowed Moments....Have others heard it? Possibly my contender for album of the year 2004
