I'd love to be able to laugh at you, but oh boy, the number of times I go through this ...
After about two years, I'm still trying to get a copy of SHOKK "Isn't it all a little strange".
Generally, given enough perseverence, you can get most things, but it is often associated with a significant premium and a long wait.
I usually scour the internet as much as I can in a vain attempt to find it.
As a last resort, I use www.gemm.com
It's a good service, and it's true they have a huge catalogue (they themselves are not dealers, but thousands of dealers list through them).
The problem with this is that ALOT of the dealers have the product available *on their catalogues* but *not in stock*. This means that once you place your order, sometimes you have to wait up to three months to get your vinyl. The good news is they don't charge you until they get it.
... still waiting for my copy of "Bring on the pain - Walt" ordered through one of the Gemm listed company. Used this company successfully in the past, but a long wait is usually required.
The good news is that Gemm will list each stores statistics (eg. Elephant Records has failed to fill 40% of it's orders in the last six months) so you know if you're wasting your time.
But sometimes, it's better than nothing.
