Well, over here in the UK I work for Virgin Our Price, one of the
biggest music retailers in the country. We have this huge
computerised database that's linked to all the other stores, as well
as numerous distributors. For the hell of it, I regularly have a
trawl through the database, seeing what I can find. 'Bantha Trax' and
'Llanga' both showed up on the database, meaning that one of our
distributors somewhere is holding copies. If not, it'd be tagged as
deleted or unavailable.
It's worked before -- I've managed to get hold of every Gescom
12-inch, plus the Boards of Canada and Plaid EPs. You can't blame a
guy for trying, can you?
Oh, and before anyone tries, this is *NOT* an opportunity to start
emailing me, asking me to order stuff for you. I will *ignore* such
emails. I happened to mention where I worked before and I was flooded
with requests for orders. Some guy even asked for about fifty CDs!
I'm not a fucking mail order service! If anyone out there wants
stuff, get off your butt and do it yourself!
