What are the best places to buy vinyl online?

I've looked on Amazon but I'm always left confused. For example, these two products:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wish-You-Were-Here-VINYL/dp/B00536OCZK

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wish-You-Were-Here-VINYL/dp/B00536OCZK/ref=mb_oe_l

They look the same, but one is twice the price and apparently on a different Label, I have no idea what the difference is as all of the reviews are the same and see to be just for the album itself, and not the individual products.

So I'm lookng for a reliable online retailer in the UK where they post more details about the actual product.

Thanks

Both links go to the same item for me.

Discogs is probably the best

I use Boomkat as well as Discogs, depending on what I'm after. It tends to cover new releases or represses mostly.

Discogs is good because it's like a wikipedia / catalogue including releases on different labels, represses, dubplates / promos, et cetera. Most of the time I'm looking for CD releases, so I'll go on Discogs to see if there was a CD release of what I'm looking for, if not, then I'll buy the vinyl. At the minute I'm after Penetration records Penetration 1 - 14. But no CD versions were ever released, so I'm probably going to get the vinyl releases as money allows.
