I'm buying direct from a distributor. They will take on new accounts but you need to spend around £300 per month. I get around 20 emails per day covering around 100 new releases, maybe more some days and access to the catalogue of most records currently being pressed. There are lots of smaller releases and imports that I can't get but generally they will try and get anything I request.
Referring to Madlib - Sound Ancestors there were two releases. One was the part mixed 'Text' release with a colour sleeve, the other has a black and white sleeve and is the 'main' release. Something to do with licensing and labels. The 'Text' release was cheaper from the distributors than the main release. I have both copies.
