New Releases on Vinyl?


I've been considering buying a turntable after a few impressive demos lately. I grew up in the CD age and don't own any records. I see there are alot of older records for sale but have not been able to find a website that lists a lot of popular new releases, other than techno and rave. Is there such a site?

I'm 26 and buy new releases on vinyl. Some good advice has already been given. You're not going to find everything on the major labels getting released on vinyl. Which is too bad. But there are plenty of independent and underground stuff that will get released on vinyl, often for $7-12, which is often better than a CD at best buy. I find these at brick and motar record stores in the Cleveland, OH area. I assume other metropolitan areas have similar sources.

Here;s a list of where I shop on-line. Cheers

There really is a wealth of material. You mentioned classical music. The nice thing about classical, it demand for it on vinyl has mostly dried up (at least near me), so I can find lots of title recorded in the 50s and 60s for $1/ea. These are some of the best recordings and performances out there. Most of these are in great shape. But if you have a taste for some of the comtemporary fare, you are mostly relagated to CD for that. There aren't many (if any) new classical releases on vinyl, just reissues. So don't give up your CD player. I haven't. The jazz will be next to impossible to find in the used bins. And when you do find it it will be expensive, IME. The classic rock and some alternative will be easy to find.
