Topshelf Records have launched a Kickstarter to help save the label’s inventory:

while making plans to book last second flights down to Austin to rent trucks and load up our inventory in order to drive it up to Portland and try and figure out what we would do with it all, we learned that Awesome’s US business is in the process of being sold to an acquisitions company and everything that they had within their facility—all equipment, machinery, supplies, and client inventory—is being treated as property of the property management company, sold AS-IS to this new acquisition company. subsequently, access to our own inventory is now being denied to us. we’re being told we don’t have legal grounds to enter the building nor do we have legal grounds to lay claim to anything in the building. we expect we have several costly legal battles in front of us if this logic prevails.
