[quote]As you may or may not have heard, due to unforeseen circumstances Marine Parade has gone bankrupt. This was not due to bad sales, in fact MaPa was selling more records than ever. But their ex distributors went under and their debt collectors just dropped a ridiculous bill on them that the parade can't pay. Marine Parade will be back and will be releasing our album "You Can Be Special Too" in september. In the mean time if you want to get hold of the album copies were leaked into HMV/Virgin stores where you can pick them up. Due to the nature of liquidation, we will not actually get any money for these copies but fuck it, we just wanna get the music out there.

We apologize for the album being put back AGAIN and promise to get it out there ASAP. We are very proud of the album and once you buy it 'You will be special too'

big love, Evil Pat, Tom and AdRock [/quote]

YEP, IT'S TRUE.

THE PARADE HAS GONE BANKRUPT (NOTHING TO DO WITH SALES, IN FACT THEY WERE SELLING MORE RECORDS THAN EVER) BUT THEY WILL BE BACK. THEY WILL BE RELEASING OUR ALBUM IN ONE MONTH.

MEANWHILE, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE LIMITED COPIES IN SOME SHOPS. (HMV/VIRGIN) DUE TO THE NATURE OF LIQUIDATION NEITHER US OR MARINE PARADE WILL BE GETTING ANY MONEY FOR THEM SO SNAP 'EM UP SO WE CAN GET SOME MORE OUT THERE.

SORRY THE ALBUM IS PUT BACK AGAIN. BELIEVE US WE WANT IT OUT ASAP.

PEACE, BIG LOVE, EVIL PAT AND TOM.

Re: Marine Parade No More...

Breakbeat takes yet another hit on the chin. Marine Parade are one of the best breaks labels around, with perhaps the scenes leading ambassador heading it up.

Surely if their 'ex' distributors, then MP can't be liable?? Or at least only for the losses accounted for when they were employed as distributors. I'm sure theres plenty of legal complications but this doesn't sound quite right to me.

:cry:

Re:: Marine Parade No More...

That SUCKS I loved that label and what it stood for. :( :( :(

Re:: Marine Parade No More...

Unfortunately... :Down: :Down: :Down:

Re:: Marine Parade No More...

just got hold of that FEX tune on this label absolute class

hopefully this label will be back sooner rather than later...

but i'm sure it will be back...

Fucking ex distributors, I will miss a lot Marine Parade has extraordinary producers like Beber or Juvenile Delinquent, what a crap, I really like this label, well don't worry I know you will be back. I will waiting for Setember to purchase that album. Hope see you soon on the stores and have luck.

May the force be with you.

Re:: Marine Parade No More...

What hasn't killed them will only make them stronger... I have been waiting for the Evil 9 album and hopefully it will land them back on their feet.

I told the guys at my record store about this yesterday They wouldn't believe me but I can understand why

Re:: Marine Parade No More...

I took this from their site:

[quote] DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE, as our fore fathers Public Enemy once chanted. Some shit has gone down, we are going through some structural changes and have had to put a hold on our release schedule.

Don't fear, we'll be back very soon with more greatness.

But it's really lousy timing, because the finest masterpiece to have come out of our doors, 'Evil Nine's debut album 'You Can Be Special Too' was just hitting the shelves. In fact, a few got out before it kicked off, so if you see one snap it up as there are only 1000 CDs on planet earth and 117 vinyl LP's - so you should feel special too if you have one. Otherwise release will be in september so hol' on!

Meanwhile if you live in the US you can buy the Freeland album (out now), Evil Nine's Restless and a lot of our back catalogue from itunes.com.

Re:: Marine Parade No More...

I always thought Adam Freeland owned the Marine Parade label

can someone correct me on this - is it/was it owned by Evil Pat and Tom?

already seen a few copies of evil 9 album in HMV

Re:: Marine Parade No More...
