As has been widely reported, we were affected by the warehouse fire in Enfield earlier this week where our entire UK stock was lost along with stock from numerous other labels and film and computer game companies.

For a full statement on the unfortunate event, please check the Beggars Group statement here. Suffice to say, we, and the independent film and music community, have had better weeks.

However, it's business as usual for 4AD. Fortunately, none of our forthcoming releases have been compromised by this needless act and thanks to a monumental effort from our staff and various partners, our current CD catalogue should still be on the shelves in all good UK record shops. Back catalogue items and vinyl stocks, however, might take a while longer to replenish.
