if you go to http://www.defocusrecords.co.uk you will notice that the site is being transferred to somewhere else, for certain things to be done. deFocus is defunct. deFocus backstock exists.

deFocus didnt 'go bankrupt' per se, but to go into details would be to spill a lot of information that doesnt require to be bickered about on this forum. there's a long story to be told, one which will hopefully never have to be repeated ever again (i've gone thru explaining my views on what happened with defocus, based on what i've been told by other artists, based on what the person who financed defocus (and let clair run it) told me, and what clair did, or didnt say). so, in the end, we've got ar ecordlabel that released a bunch of records, some ok, some decent, and a person (not clair) who is stuck with all of the unsold backstock (and believe you me, there is a lot of that backstock around in his home), without any distributors or shops getting in touch with him about purchasing bits of the backstock. the defocus records are still available via http://www.smallfish.co.uk , but IF there would be an actual shop or a distributor that would be interested in taking multiple copies of the releases and making them available (in say ireland, or usa, or germany/belgium area), AND paying in advance (NONE OF THAT SCAMMING BUSINESS, you KNOW who you are), it would be beneficial if they got in touch with the people that run smallfish. -- esa ruoho www.lackluster.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
