distros/shops that pay upfront?

[Col Wolfe]

can anyone recommend any distributors or shops that will pay trade price upfront rather than on a 'sales or return' basis?

 

for Europe, Clearspot in Holland has been recommended.  has anyone on here dealt wit them?

Clear Spot are good — regular as clockwork they send a statement at the beginning of the month detailing the previous month's sales. Soundflat Mailorder in Germany have always been very easy to deal with too. Neither pay upfront though, I doubt many do these days...

Do you know anyone who distributes non-Australasian music through that region?

not specifically though there's plenty of diy distros around.  join some forums like mess and noise or small night in and perhaps ask the questions there...?

Yes Clear Spot and Soundflat are great!
