If it's obscure, or even not, Dick Greenhaus, of the DigiTrad AND Camsco Music can usually get it for you.

It's an interesting idea, if it were ONLY samples which were provided. I often go to CDBaby, Amazon and a couple of others to listen to samples before deciding on a CD purchase (haven't been able to buy much, lately), but I always try to buy from the smaller companies,like Dick's and the Patons at Folk Legacy. CDBaby also seems to be a good, direct outlet for independent artists. Artists who actually have their own websites sometimes have samples, too.

FWIW,
