How to find a specific CD

[Silent]

I am looking for a specific release of AC/DC's Back in Black, ideally, CD 431046 (originally printed in AUS, possibly in 1985) and I'm not sure the best way to go about purchasing it.

Amazon gives no information about the label code or bar code of the different editions you can buy.

Discogs seems a little shady to buy from (even though they have ALL the info I'm looking for and make it very easy to see the exact edition you want). Anyone had experience buying from there?

I think a suggested solution will be to go to a shop and check a physical CD for myself and although I will be going to Fopp/HMV pretty soon to pick up a few essentials and will try it then, if it's not the one I want it's likely to be the only edition there.

Suggestions? :)

I've bought from discogs plenty times. It's as reliable as ebay. Look for well rated sellers and check postage and that it comes with a case as some distance sellers dump case, if you want one.
Other possible is Eil. Com

Taken your advice. Just need to wait till it arrives from Discogs and see if it's the right one. Bit more confident now. Cheers!

Hope it works out. I bought a record last week there. Came quickly

Used Discogs a lot and generally very good.
Only once let down as the record was sold as mint, but wasn't - seller didn't argue and refunded my money (and let me keep the record) :)

I use discogs for the harder to find and usually more expensive LPs I'm after. I've only ever had one issue and that was quickly resolved by the seller. in my experience it's a safe and reliable place to buy from.

Nice. Well I guess I'll just make sure the sellers are reputable and take my chances, seems unlikely to get stiffed
