Setting up a store in Brexit-UK was the stupidest idea anyway !
What makes you think that?
The EU will collapse anyway.
I'd say it was rather good judgment to choose someone in the UK.
But it was not the best of choice the company they finally went with as we now learned.

Good in a way that the number of CD releases are dropping.

Shame the US labels can’t do something with UK based Tadlow or Silva Screen to market their titles in the UK and Europe.
Yes I am sure the US labels, and the rest, CAN combine forces and deal with this situation.

This will certainly impact my purchases by at least 75%...it has got way to expensive to import them from the US...
Yes that goes for me too.
However it does give time to look into my collection and start listening to some of the music that has been neglected for too long.

I'm not aware of energy costs being affected by the recent heatwaves. Certainly they will be by Russia cutting off its oil pipelines...
Me neither. First I've heard of it...

Most people and businesses in the US and Europe, due to the heat waves on both continents.

I can't tell if these posts are meant as jokes, but people and businesses are running their air conditioners a LOT more, due to the heat waves, resulting in higher bills for them to pay.
Granted, it's probably less of an issue in Europe since, in my experience, few places in Europe seem to have air conditioning. But it's definitely a HUGE issue in the US.

Honestly, as much as this is a controversial take here and I enjoy the satisfying feeling of holding a CD in my hands. This is why I support digital downloads. We can get really good quality downloads with zero shipping costs. The manufacturing costs of getting the music to us would be lower too, I would imagine. We'd also get the music instantly and be able to transfer it to any platform we prefer.
Digital downloads remove the financial barriers currently being imposed on international buyers.

The only downside is booklet notes/credits. If they gave us a digital booklet with every release (not difficult if they put some effort in!) then downloads would match and potentially exceed CD distributon.
Right. Just make digital booklets and notes. Again, I understand the affinity for the physical CD. But the fact of the matter is a majority of people on this planet no longer use CDs for their music. Digital is the future and I don't see a problem with that at all. It would solve a lot of issues. Do you know what else it would mostly solve? Things going out of print. Missing out on releases and wishing you had bought them but now have to buy them on the secondary market for over 100 dollars when they were originally 24 dollars. If LLL's Point Break by Mark Isham had still been available at a reasonable price on the main market I would have purchased it from them.
