I don't know of a catch-all site to find information on music. I suppose the best source is Amazon.com. Generally, if an album is in print, they'll have an entry for it. Often the only source of old albums are imports from Europe and Japan, and Amazon will usually list them if they're available, or if they've EVER been available. If the entry exists, you can have them notify you if a version does show up.

Unfortunately, the world of music is turning to downloads as a main source, so it's possible that an album would be available in an iTunes or Amazon download and nowhere else. For collectors, that's a sad development, but I've had to bite the bullet for three '60s albums in the Herb Alpert canon that were released through iTunes only.

Hope that helps.
