Distribution is a major problem with these talented cats. I think it's where their weakness lies... A good example of when distribution goes wrong. IGs new LP is smoking...difficult to get hold of...bought mine from Japan happily, burned a copy for a DJ who desperately wanted to play 'Girl You need A Change of Mind'and couldn't get it delivered in time , goes to Electric Picnic...Norman Jay asks who it is, when did it come out and can he have a copy? Basically, my mate didn't give him the burn but you see how it changed hands three times with one payment and a man who probably get sa lot of music sent to him didn't know this......yet three people go nuts for the track meaning that if it was on offer, it would sell. What do you reckon?

Shouldn't Sir Norm have had one of these already and guess what
