Since last summer, I've been searching for a replacement copy of Nigeria 70: The Definitive Story of 1970s Funky Lagos.

An e-mail showed up in my inbox tonight: Discogs had a seller!

I exult! I click on the link!

I find ... nothing. Here's the message I got:

Found 0 items matching Release: 578408

I am a broken and crushed man as I write this. However, I will recover -- and the search will continue.
