"all the world's commercial recordings" ??? Fuck off. There is no way that they have all of the out of print recordings from every label on Earth.

They almost do! It was posted some weeks ago.

They can't possibly have all the out of print things. Record companies hold that stuff back to force new music sales. And some of the recordings get re-released under "Special Markets" editions. But there is a vast chunk of out of print that never comes back to the public.
