Even if your local store doesn't have a particular Yello album they can order it in for you very easily. You've just got to ask them. (And sometimes find a shop assistant who has a clue. I always avoid the teenagers. <grin>)
I have tried to order stuff in from my local HMV store (Inter-National chain). they have a large database on their computers, but can't order anything that isn't on their list. Guess what! they don't have any new (ish) YELLO on their databases, so they can't order any in. I have asked, and even tried to source out titles to bring in, to make finding them easier. This is not easy when you don't know of newly released CD singles, titles, release dates, distributers,etc. If I had all that information, I would order it directly, as I would know who to contact. ISN'T THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE LOCAL RECORD SHOPPE ? To do all the leg work for you? A few years ago, My wife bought me Pocket Universe. She had to order it in from HMV. $50.00 (canadian) she paid. Then, because the album ordering caused a blip on the HMV radar, I saw a copy on the shelf of one of their Downtown stores, only $23.00 can.
