I love Discogs. They're such a great site for everything that they offer. Discogs not only has an API [0] but they also provide regular database dumps for free [1]. Last year, I converted tjeir database into SQLite and queried it in various ways to discover new artists or releases that I might be interested in. Ultimately, I realized how much of my favorite music was put out by labels that were headquartered in UK flats that have since been re-leased.

This is very helpful. I have found their Advanced Search to be a little quirky when I am looking for something highly specific (which seems to be "what I do" as a person), and it misses things I would later find manually.

Re-leased, as in the entire building is no longer private accomodation? (I'm assuming you didn't knock on the door and meet some new tenants?) Also curious what labels are on that list of favourites!
