Don't be misled by stickers and cards in Topic Records. If you check the Topic site (www.topicrecords.co.uk) you will see that nowhere is CM Distribution referred to. The official distributor seems to be Proper Records Distribution of Beckenham, Kent. I imagine that in order to maintain some credibility in the folk record industry, CM has simply purchased from Proper and added their own info to the packaging - a common practice as anyone buying imports will know. Don't know anything about Proper Records Distribution but I guess they are on a hiding to nothing if they have made the msitake of giving credit terms to CM - watch this space! What might be more important to consider is that it is very possible that new artists/records companies deal with CM once, but how many do it for a second time???? Once bitten, twice shy and all that!
