Here's something that's worked for me, before:  Go to discogs.com.  Set your search parameters to the year, style, and format (such as vinyl).  Go to town.  If you have a fast 'net connection, it may take a few hours, but will be well worth it should your long-lost album show up.  If nothing shows, try the same on RateYourMusic.com.  Granted, it's all gigo, so if no one's entered the info, it won't be there; but I've found ultra obscure items on both those 'sites, all day long.  Best wishes in the search; and I am sure interested to know what this thing is, too!  Cheers, Mark

Phenomena..? which was '80s but just in case...

I'm thinking that this album saw such limited release, perhaps only in the local market of the OP, that it might not even be googlable, or at least you could pretty much only find it by name.  Have you tried a geographically based forum?

rgodfrey53 wrote: Yes, I agree that it may have been a very limited release. Because of  the emergence of punk in the mid-seventies, and then the emergence of much more interesting post-punk around 1977, innovative prog was seeing fewer and fewer releases by this time, many quite limited. And yes, Google is useless. I have searched various websites and forums over the years. I thought casting a wider net with this general discussion forum might reach some old prog-head out there who may have picked it up, or a younger prog-head who might have stumbled upon it in a used vinyl bin, but it's starting to seem unlikely. But not impossible. My search continues.

You might as well try posting your question on the Progressive Ears forum as well. There is some overlap of posters with this place, but also some very knowledgeable people who don't post here.
