averyminya,

I get that, but it does seem like you’re getting at the point of niche where you’ll either be finding a torrent of it online, or manually ripping the disc yourself.

You can always sell the disc or donate it, since you’d have backed up digital copies. Maybe you can better justify the downsides of shipping by allowing their catalogue to be available in your area, even if it’s only a single copy for someone else to have. You could also alleviate some of those problems if they have more than just the one album/song that you want, as you’d be getting a few albums shipped instead of just one.

However, I do think there is one avenue left to explore for you. Have you tried reaching out to them personally? You may be able to just get in contact with them via social media or e-mail, and they may just hook you up and get your situation sorted. In any case, if this doesn’t work out I would genuinely suggest oredering from their store and having it shipped, ripping it, and having it be available for someone else via donation/sale/local library, while not ideal, isn’t entirely wasteful either.
