PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
20/1/26
Greetings artists and producers,
firstly, best wishes for 2026!
We are slowly getting rolling (from under large amounts of snow this year). Here are the main themes for this circular.
1 - New Accounting format for digital distribution.
I mentioned that we have a new format and parameters for the accounting data provided by our partners. This has kicked in now and we have to adapt this to our own system which is far less complicated. We will be sending out screenshots of the stats from the new system and want to set up meetings to talk about this system.
The software allows us to call up much more detailed info - although with some time lag.

All data supplied on request is done without prejudice and subject to confidentiality.
We will continue to run individual accounts showing any advances paid and recouped.
2 - Buyout and takeovers.
Our physical distribution partners have been subject to huge changes as the whole physical business has altered. We continue to run our warehouse in Hamburg but are drastically reducing stock holding and will more and more have deliveries go directly to our fulfilment partners.
This will sadly mean that we have charges for future stock holding and also to destroy stock. These charges can be quoted in advance on request.
3 - Pre-release tips.
It is a useful moment to remind partners needing digital services of what we require for a new digital release. Review this please > https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/
4 . Old distribution circulars can be reviewed in the archive on this same page - go to the top right lists.
