vinyl availability database?

does anyone know of any way to figure out if a record is
commonly and currently available on vinyl? I'm not talking
only electronic here, but any kind of database-ish thing
would probably help... I just want to know how easy it will
be for a normal local store to get a hold of a vinyl release
of something.

as general as possible, but specialised will help too...

I already know about discogs

gemm

gemm will show you a number of retailers who stock a
particular item. some are sneaky and you have to
doublecheck for words like "backorder," but if a few
reliable retailers (gemm rates each retailer that lists
there) who have a particular item then it might be safe to
assume the item is at least somewhat readily available.

you can set filters to show only vinyl releases.

I don't know if I understood it completely due to slight
drunkenness, but it'll all work out.

right now, I want John Coltranes My Favorite Things and I
don't think it should be too hard to get a hold of...

i assume you're looking for a vinyl reissue? or are you
looking for a collectible original release?

LAZY_TITLE

it has been reissued on vinyl, but it still looks like all
the copies are used. some are near mint, tho...

yeah, I don't need collectibles as long as it's normal vinyl
qualiy (in other words not ultra mega thin 12" single vinyls
that you can hear the other side through) with normal vinyl
sound.

Fuxx. Some of those Gemm-sellers are ridiculus. Or can I
actually get $345 for my Bola-Shapes?

no the prices on gemm are often way to high!..

musicstack is a similar database as gemm..

great! thanks!

though that one seems to specialise in rare items... unless
their intro text is lying.

..just to make sure.. does anyone interpret this
as saying it is very likely my local store will be able to
get this album from holland or am I reading things wrong?
